Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• Oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and salt. 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 is resting, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
3. Add green peas, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and chopped cilantro to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
4. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, about 6 inches long.
5. Cut the oval in half, creating two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it into a triangle, sealing the edge with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling. Seal the open edge by pinching it together, ensuring no filling escapes. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
8. Serve hot with a spicy dipping sauce or chutney of your choice.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy samosas.
• Don’t overfill the samosas, or they may burst during frying.
• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the filling.
• If you prefer baking, brush the samosas with oil and bake at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes or until golden.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
• Add finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or carrots to the filling for extra crunch.
• For a spicier kick, include some finely chopped green chilies in the filling.
• Try using different spices like coriander powder or ajwain for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping
• Yogurt sauce or raita to cool the palate
• A fresh salad with cucumbers and tomatoes
• Sliced lemons for an extra zing
