Preparing the dough: In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, salt, carom seeds, and ghee or oil. Using your fingers, rub the ghee or oil in until it forms sand-like texture. Once mixed, add in the ice water, 2 to 3 tablespoons at a time. Knead together until it forms a firm dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes.Preparing the filling: Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Soak the peas in warm water until needed. Peel and cut the potatoes into one-inch sized cubes. Transfer the potatoes into a glass or microwave safe bowl adding a splash of water. Cover and bowl with a cling wrap and microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Using a rolling pin, lightly crush the fennel seeds and coriander seeds and set them aside.In a pan, add oil and let it heat up. Once hot, add in cumin seeds, followed by the crushed fennel and coriander seeds. Sauté for a minute. Once fragrant, add in the ginger and green chilies and sauté for 30 seconds. Add in the boiled potatoes, peas, and sauté for a minute. Add in the spices, salt, and mix everything well. Turn off the heat, and add a handful of chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool down before moving to the next step.Preparing the parcel: Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. I usually like to weigh them out, but that’s totally optional. Once divided, shape them into balls, and then let them rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, roll the dough out into an oval shape. Cut the rolled dough horizontally from the center. Now you should have two semi round pastries. Apply water on the straight edge, bring the corners together and seal to for a cone. Fill 3/4 of the cone with the potato filling, apply water on the remaining edge, and seal the pastry. Repeat process to create 16 samosas.Frying the samosas: In a frying pan, heat up the oil on medium to low heat. Test the oil using any dough scrapes; ifthe dough rises up immediately then the oil is ready to use. Add in 3 to 4 samosas at a time and fry until golden brown. Serve with chai or chutney.Make the chutney: Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a bowl. Your chutney is ready!
