Green chillies, chopped3-4

METHOD
Mix refined flour, carom seeds, salt and three tablespoons of oil in a bowl.TIP:(Usually people complain that while making samosa they dont get the perfect crust,its because of oil proportion in flour.1 cup to 3 tbs oil combination is very important as amount of oil in flour decide the crust structure it can be hard if oil is less and it can be really flaky if oil is too much.I took 2 -3 trial to get the crust perfect :P so in case you are not happy with your Samosa crust try to revisit your oil proportion in the flour).Add water little by little and knead into a stiff dough. Keep, covered for ten to fifteen minutes. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and when they start to change colour, add coriander and fennel seeds and rest of the dry ingreditents and then potatoes and peas.Stir well. Sprinkle water and cook covered for eight to ten minutes or till potatoes are done.Add coriander leaves and mix well. When done, set the mixture aside to cool. Divide the dough into eight equal portions and roll them into balls. Apply a little flour and roll them into four-inch diameter. Cut into half, apply water on the edges. Shape each half into a cone and stuff it with the potato and peas filling. Seal the edges well. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai (wok) and deep-fry the samosas in medium hot oil till crisp and golden brown. Drain and place on an absorbent paper. Serve your choice of chutney coriander or tamraid or both :)
