    5 Whole red peppers; up to 6

    Heat ghee and add pinch of cumin seed. When brown, add potatoes. Fry
    over medium until until half done. Add peas and salt and stir-fry for
    10 to 15 minutes more, until tender. Add roasted spices and lemon

    Combine wheat flour and ghee in a bowl. Mix together with hands until
    it has a consistency of corn meal. Add yogurt and salt. Mix well.
    Slowly add water and knead dough until soft and smooth. Cover with a
    damp cloth and set aside for 1 hour.

    Form balls about 1 to 2" in diameter. Flatten into circles. Cut in
    half. For each samosa, keep the one half aside and roll the other
    into a hollow cone. Pinch the seams together and fill cone with the
    potato-peas filling, about 2/3rds of the cone and press firmly the
    top two edges with a moistened fingers, to seal. They have to be well
    sealed, so as not to break open while frying. Heat ghee for deep
    frying. Fry samosas until golden brown. Serve warm with tamarind or
    coriander chutney.
