Ingredients

  • 2 potato
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon white cumin seeds
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 4 tablespoon water
  • 10 spring roll wraps square
  • 1 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil, peel and mash the potatoes.
  2. Mix the salt, red chili powder, white cumin seeds and cilantro with the mashed potatoes.
  3. Cut the square spring roll wrappers in half to make 20 rectangular strips.
  4. Make a paste of the flour and water and set aside for later.
  5. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato filling at the top of each strip.
  6. Fold into a tight triangle, making sure the potato filling is nicely tucked in and there are no gaps or holes in the wrapper. (see notes)
  7. Use the flour paste to seal the open side and to glue down any loose flaps. (see notes)
  8. Preheat the oil and fry the samosas till they are a nice golden brown. (see notes)

Notes

  • Adjust the spices - I recommend cutting the red chili powder in half if you're not a spicy food fan. 
  • Seal the samosa well -  If there are gaps, use the flour paste to seal them.
  • Preheat the oil -  The samosas will be nice and crisp this way.
  • Bake your samosas - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees; brush the samosas generously with oil on both sides; place on a cookie sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Check and brush with oil periodically to prevent your samosas from drying, and flip them halfway through.
  • Air fry the samosas - Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes; brush the samosas generously with oil on both sides and Air Fry for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Brush the samosas with oil every few minutes to prevent them from drying.
