Step 1
Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2
Stir in the water and oil to form a dough.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a dish towel. Let it sit for 30 minutes, while you make the filling.
Step 5
Place the potatoes into a medium pot and cover them with water.
Step 6
Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat and allow the potatoes to cook just until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 7
Drain the potatoes into a colander and return them to the pot.
Step 8
Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with oil and place it over medium heat.
Step 9
When the oil is hot, add the onion. Sauté until soft and translucent.
Step 10
Add the garlic, ginger, serrano pepper, and cumin seeds. Continue to sauté until the garlic is very fragrant and the cumin seed darken a bit, about 1 minute.
Step 11
Add the garam masala, turmeric, coriander and cayenne pepper to the skillet, saute for a few seconds more, then add the potatoes, peas and peanuts.
Step 12
Sauté for another minutes, flipping the ingredients around to coat the potatoes in the spices.
Step 13
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper and cilantro. Taste-test and adjust any seasonings to your liking.
Step 14
Lightly mash the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving some chunks.
Step 15
Preheat the oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 16
Lightly flour a work surface and gather a small glass or bowl of water.
Step 17
Grab a 3-4 tablespoon handful of dough and roll it into a ball.
Step 18
Place the dough onto your work surface and roll it into a 5-inch circle (about 1/8 inch thick) with a rolling pin. Cut the circle in half.
Step 19
Use your fingers to wet the outer edges of one of the half circles.
Step 20
Place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling into the center of the dough half circle.
Step 21
Fold the dough about the center point of the cut edge, bringing opposite sides of the cut edge together to form a cone shape.
Step 22
Pinch the dough together about the opening formed at the bottom of the cone.
Step 23
Place the samosa on the baking sheet and repeat until all of the dough and filling are used.
Step 24
Spray both sides of the samosas with oil.
Step 25
Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Step 26
Serve with your favorite chutney.
