Gradually add 1/4 cup of water and knead the dough; cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Boil and cut 3 potatoes into small pieces or mash them.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan; add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and cook for 30-60 seconds.

Add 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon turmeric; stir for a minute.

Add 1 chopped green chili, 2-3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon ginger paste; cook for a minute.

Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Add the boiled potatoes and 1/2 cup of green peas; stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of water, and salt; cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously.

Add 1/4 cup of crushed cashews and 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves; remove from heat.

Divide the dough into 6-7 equal parts and shape them into balls; keep the remaining balls covered.

Roll each ball into an oval shape, approximately 15 cm long and 10 cm wide; cut it in half.

Moisten the edges with water, form a cone, and fill it with the potato mixture; seal the edges tightly.

Drop the samosas into hot oil, frying 4-5 at a time for 4-5 minutes until golden brown; place on paper towels.
