Prepare the dough by mixing flour, salt, and water until smooth.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until elastic, then let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent.

Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chili, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in ground beef, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Add peas, coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing well; cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

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

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

Form a cone with each semi-circle, sealing the edge with water.

Fill the cone with the beef mixture and seal the open edge by pressing firmly.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
