For the filling, warm a pan with clarified butter, add cumin seeds wait till it starts to crackle, add ginger and saute, add mashed potatoes, green peas and saute.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, cook on a low flame for 15 minutes, mixing every 3 minutes to ensure the stuffing is not sticking to the pan.
cool the filling to make samosas..
divide the dough in 8 roundels for 16 large samosas or 12 roundels for 24 medium samosas
roll the dough in by adding a bit of dry flour, do not add oil to roll the dough
roll it like a shape of oblong tortilla, cut into half.
apply water on the cut side and form a cone, stuff the cone with the filling and use water to seal the edges, opposite of the cone joint form another overlapping dough joint to provide balance to the samosa so it can stand upright. seal the edges well.
deep fry them, start with warm oil, and let it cook for approximately 25 minutes or till golden brown in colour . (keep the flame at low to medium...)
enjoy with chutney or ketchup..
