Stuffing

• ½ teaspoon dried mango powder (amchur)
• ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Method

1. Heat ghee in a non-stick pan and add cumin seeds. Once cumin seeds start to change colour, add green chillies and ginger and sauté till the raw flavour of ginger goes away.
2. Add green peas, red chilli powder, dried mango powder and garam masala and mix well. Add salt and ¼ cup water and mash the green peas.
3. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and mix well. Add the coriander leaves and mix well. Take the pan off the heat, transfer the mixture to a bowl, and set aside to cool.
4. To make dough, add refined flour to a mixing bowl, carom seeds, salt, and 1 tbsp ghee. Add sufficient water and knead into stiff dough. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
5. Preheat the air-fryer to 180˚C.
6. Apply ghee on the worktop and roll out into thin oblong sheets. Halve each sheet. Shape each halved sheet into a cone and stuff with some potato mixture. Apply water on edges, bring them together and press to seal and shape into samosas.
7. Grease the air-fryer basket with ghee, place the samosas in it, attach it to the air-fryer, brush the samosas with some ghee and bake for 15-20 minutes.
8. Arrange the samosas on a serving plate and serve hot with green chutney.
