Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water (as needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chaat masala
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. Start by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, cook the filling. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
3. Add the green peas, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and additional salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly and set aside to cool.
4. Once the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape on a lightly floured surface.
5. Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, form a cone by bringing the straight edges together, and seal the edge with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture, then seal the open edge by pressing it with your fingers. Ensure there are no gaps.
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
8. Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9. For the dipping sauce, mix yogurt, lemon juice, chaat masala, and salt in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
10. Serve the crispy samosas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside the spicy dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; test with a small piece of dough—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
• Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying to ensure even cooking.
• For a different flavor, try adding minced green chilies or fresh ginger to the filling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the potato filling with lentils or mixed vegetables for a different twist.
• Add cheese to the filling for a creamy texture.
• Experiment with spices like coriander or ajwain for added depth of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a refreshing side.
• Mint chutney for an extra burst of flavor.
• A cup of masala chai or your favorite beverage.
