cumin seeds

🥗Healthier: ground cumin

💰Cheaper: cumin powder

Ground cumin is easier to find and use.

fresh cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried herbs

Parsley provides a similar flavor profile.

green chilies

🥗Healthier: jalapeños

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Jalapeños can offer a milder heat.

Mix all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually and knead to form a smooth dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest for a while.

Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds until they splutter.

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

Stir in coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and black pepper.

Cook for a few minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Mix in chopped green chilies, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt to taste.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle.

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

Take one semi-circle, form a cone, and seal the edge with water.

Fill the cone with the onion mixture and seal the top by pinching the edges.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Heat oil in a deep pan until hot.

Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown.
