  • Irresistibly crispy exterior
  • Flavor-packed vegetable filling
  • Versatile for any occasion
  • Simple ingredients you might already have
  • Quick to prepare and fry

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • Water (as needed)
  • Oil (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

  1. In a pot, boil the diced potatoes until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash them in a large bowl.
  2. Add green peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, lemon juice, and chili powder (if using) to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until combined.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin oval shape and cut it in half to create two semi-circles.
  5. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by folding it over itself. Seal the edges with a little water.
  6. Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture, then seal the open edge by pinching it together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  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 batch.
  8. Remove the samosas and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that crispy texture. A small piece of dough dropped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
  • Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving to enhance their crunch.

Easy Variations

  • For a spicier kick, add chopped green chilies to the filling.
  • Swap out the peas for finely chopped carrots or bell peppers for different flavors and textures.
  • Make them vegan by using plant-based oil and skipping any dairy in the dipping sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • A tangy tamarind or mint chutney for dipping.
  • A side of yogurt mixed with herbs for a cooling contrast.
  • Fresh salad or pickled vegetables for added crunch.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover samosas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness.
