Prepare the dough by mixing flour, salt, and water until smooth; let it rest for 30 minutes.

Boil potatoes until tender; peel and mash them.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat; add cumin seeds until fragrant.

Add chopped onions, ginger, and garlic; sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in ground chicken; cook until no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.

Add mashed potatoes, peas, coriander powder, garam masala, green chilies, and salt; mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and add lemon juice and chopped cilantro; let the filling cool.

Divide dough into small balls; roll each ball into a thin circle.

Cut each circle in half; form a cone shape with each half and seal the edge with water.

Fill each cone with the chicken mixture; seal the top by pressing the edges together.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat; fry the samosas until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels; serve hot with chutney.
