Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
- 1/2 cup water (as needed)
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (for dipping sauce)
How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
- In a pot, boil the diced potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.
- In the same pot, add the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Add the mashed potatoes back to the pot.
- Stir in cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and let the filling cool.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into a thin oval shape.
- Cut each oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water.
- Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge by pressing it together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop in the samosas, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- For the dipping sauce, mix yogurt and hot sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
- Serve the crispy samosas hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Don’t overfill the samosas to prevent them from bursting during frying.
- Use a damp cloth to cover the dough to keep it moist while you work.
Easy Variations
- Add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor.
- Substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a unique twist.
- Spice it up with fresh green chilies or adjust the chili powder to your heat preference.
What to Serve With It
- Chutneys such as mint or tamarind for extra flavor.
- A fresh salad with cucumbers and tomatoes for a refreshing side.
- A cup of masala chai or your favorite tea for a cozy pairing.
Storage and Reheating
- Store leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until crispy again.
