Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• Oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for topping)

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 until you form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
4. Add the boiled potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, green chilies, and cilantro to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, then cut it in half to form two semi-circles.
6. Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it over, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture and seal the top edge, pinching to secure.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
8. In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully drop in the samosas, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds while still warm. Serve with spicy dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot before frying to achieve a crispy exterior.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; it can lower the oil temperature and make the samosas soggy.
• You can make the filling in advance and assemble the samosas just before frying for optimal freshness.

Easy Variations

• Add diced carrots or bell peppers to the filling for extra color and crunch.
• Swap out the peas for lentils or chickpeas for a different texture.
• For a cheesy twist, add crumbled paneer to the filling.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney for a refreshing dip.
• Tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy flavor.
• Yogurt sauce to cool down the heat.

Store any leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it will make them soggy.
