Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons oil (for the dough)
• 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• Water (as needed to form the dough)

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well, then gradually add water until a smooth, firm dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the boiled potatoes and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir in coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, mixing well. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of golf balls). Roll each ball into a thin oval shape on a lightly floured surface.
6. Cut the rolled oval in half to create two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by folding it over. Seal the edge with a little water.
7. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge with water to form a triangle. Ensure there are no gaps.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
9. In a deep skillet or pan, heat oil over medium heat for frying. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
10. Remove the samosas and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that perfect crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain the oil temperature.
• If the dough feels too dry, add a little water to make it more pliable.
• For extra flavor, consider adding finely chopped green chilies or ginger to the potato filling.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the peas for carrots or corn for a different flavor.
• Add some chopped spinach or kale to the filling for a nutritious twist.
• Try using paneer or cheese for a richer filling option.
• Experiment with spices like turmeric or chili powder for added heat.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney for a refreshing dip
• Tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy contrast
• Yogurt sauce to balance the spices
• A simple salad for a light side
