Make a dough by mixing flour, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes covered with a damp cloth.

Boil potatoes until tender, then mash them in a bowl.

Sauté onions and garlic in oil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add peas and spices to the onion mixture, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Combine the mashed potatoes with the sautéed mixture, mixing well.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each out into thin circles.

Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Fill each semi-circle with a spoonful of the filling and fold into a triangle, sealing the edges.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the samoussas in batches until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
