3. 4 -5 small Green chilies ( finely chopped )
4. Salt ( to taste )
5. 1/4 tbsp Cumin powder
6. 1/4 tbsp Coriander powder

2. Salt to taste
3. 1/4 tbsp Carom seeds / Ajwain
4. 1 1/2 tbsp ghee
5. 1/4 cup water ( or as per requirement )

Method:-

1. In a large bowl take all purpose flour, salt, carom seeds, ghee and adding very little water at a
    time make a very firm dough.

2. Cover the dough with a damp paper towel / cloth and keep aside.

3. In a pan, heat some ghee. To it add turmeric powder, asafoetida, ginger, finely chopped chilies.
    Saute for a few seconds and then add mashed potatoes and peas.

4. Mix well and then add salt ( to taste ), cumin powder, coriander powder, chaat masala, amchur
    powder. Let the mixture cook for a few minutes.

5. Turn the heat off.

6. Make small balls of  the dough which was kept aside.

7. With the help of a rolling pin roll the dough balls into small thin tortillas ( or puris ). Cut it to get
    two equal halves.

8. Pick one of the halves and make a funnel with it. Press the sides well so that it sticks to each
    other. Fill a spoon full of stuffing into it and close the ends by pressing them firmly to make mini  
    samosas as shown in the picture.

9. Repeat the same process to make the rest of the samosas. Arrange them on a plate and keep
    aside.

10. Heat some oil on medium high in a heavy bottom pan to fry the samosas.

11. Once the oil is hot fry these samosas in small batches. Make sure the heat is on medium while
      frying.

12. Transfer the fried samosas to a paper towel.

13. Serve hot with tamarind chutney / green chutney or tomato ketchup.
