Cooking Steps:

For the Samosa Dough:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ghee or oil, and salt.

Step 2: Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

For the Potato Filling:

Step 3: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds; let them splutter.

Step 4: Add grated ginger and chopped green chili. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.

Step 6: Add mashed potatoes and green peas to the spice mixture. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 7: Season with salt and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Allow the filling to cool.

Assembly and Frying:

Step 8: Divide the rested dough into small lemon-sized balls.

Step 9: Roll each ball into a small disc, creating a circular shape.

Step 10: Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 11: Fold each semi-circle into a cone, sealing the edges with a little water.

Step 12: Fill the cone with the prepared potato filling, ensuring it's not overfilled.

Step 13: Seal the open edge of the cone to form a triangular samosa.

Step 14: Heat oil in a pan for frying. Fry the mini samosas until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 15: Remove the Mini Aloo Samosas from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 16: Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
