Prepare the dough by mixing all-purpose flour, salt, and oil in a bowl.

Gradually add water and knead until smooth; let it rest for 30 minutes.

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

Add peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, green chilies, ginger, and salt to the mashed potatoes; mix well.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

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

Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone, and seal the edge with water.

Fill the cone with the potato mixture and seal the top, ensuring no filling escapes.

Preheat the tandoor or oven to a high temperature.

Brush the samosas with oil and place them in the tandoor or on a baking sheet.

Bake or cook until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Serve hot with chutney or yogurt dip.
