Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water (as needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust for spice preference)
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until crumbly.
2. Gradually add water, kneading to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
4. Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
6. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by bringing the straight edges together, sealing the edge with a little water.
7. Fill the cone with the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge to form a triangular shape. Ensure there are no gaps.
8. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
9. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
10. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy samosas.
• Do not overcrowd the pan while frying; this ensures even cooking.
• For a healthier option, consider baking the samosas at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes until golden, brushing with a bit of oil beforehand.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped onions or carrots to the filling for extra texture.
• For a spicy kick, include chopped green chilies in the filling.
• Experiment with different spices like fennel seeds or mustard seeds for a unique flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Tangy tamarind chutney
• Mint yogurt sauce
• Spicy green chutney
• A side of fresh salad
