Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water (or as needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

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 the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add water, kneading to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. While the dough is resting, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
4. Add the frozen peas, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until combined.
5. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval shape, approximately 6 inches long.
6. Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by folding it and sealing the edge with a little water.
7. Fill the cone with the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge by pinching it together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
8. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
9. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.

Make sure to seal the samosas well to prevent the filling from leaking during frying. Keep the oil at a steady temperature to avoid soggy samosas. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water while kneading.

Easy Variations

Feel free to get creative with the filling! You can add:

• Chopped spinach or kale for extra greens.
• Chickpeas or lentils for added protein.
• Different spices like coriander or fennel seeds for unique flavors.
• Cheese for a creamy twist.

What to Serve With It

Serve your crispy vegetable samosas with:

• Mango chutney for a sweet and spicy kick.
• Mint yogurt sauce for a refreshing dip.
• Spicy tamarind sauce for a tangy contrast.
• Simple salad for a fresh side.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until crispy again. You can also freeze uncooked samosas. Just place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
