Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the boiled potatoes, peas, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
4. Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, then cut it in half to create two semi-circles.
5. Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it along the straight edge. Seal the edges with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge by pressing it together firmly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently add the samosas in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
8. For the spicy dipping sauce, mix yogurt, tamarind paste, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
9. Serve the samosas hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; this prevents the samosas from absorbing too much oil.
• Use a mix of vegetables for the filling, such as carrots or bell peppers, for added flavor and texture.
• Make sure to seal the edges of the samosas well to prevent any filling from leaking during frying.

Easy Variations

• Swap the potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slightly different flavor.
• Add finely chopped spinach or kale to the filling for extra nutrition.
• Experiment with different spices or herbs according to your taste preferences.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Mint chutney for a cooling effect.
• A warm cup of chai for a cozy pairing.
