Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ cup warm water
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• ½ teaspoon garam masala
• ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Oil for frying
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until crumbly.
2. Gradually add warm water, kneading until you form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix the mashed potatoes and peas. Add cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, and chili powder. Mix well to combine.
4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.
5. Cut each disc in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by folding the straight edge. Seal the edge with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with a spoonful of the vegetable mixture. Seal the open edge by pinching it together tightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the samosas while they are still hot for that extra crunch.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; this can lower the oil temperature and make the samosas soggy.
• Adjust the spices in the filling to suit your taste preferences.

Easy Variations

• Replace potatoes and peas with other vegetables like carrots, corn, or spinach for a different flavor.
• For a non-vegetarian twist, add cooked minced meat or chicken to the filling.
• Spice it up by adding fresh chopped green chilies to the vegetable mixture.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney for a refreshing dip.
• Tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy contrast.
• A side of yogurt mixed with herbs for a cooling effect.
