Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix mashed potato with cumin seeds, salt, and black pepper until fragrant.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon 1 tbsp potato filling onto each wonton wrapper corner, fold into triangle, and press edges to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F (water drop should sizzle immediately and sink slowly).

  4. Step 4

    Fry samosas in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Fry whole green chilies 30–45 seconds until blistered and fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange samosas on a plate. Drizzle with tamarind chutney and serve with fried green chilies alongside.
