Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup oil (for dough)
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 cup green peas, cooked
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust for spice preference)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 1/4 cup yogurt (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon mint chutney (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for dipping sauce)

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the 1/4 cup of oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add water, kneading until you form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, cooked peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Combine thoroughly and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, approximately 6 inches long.
  5. Cut the rolled dough in half to create two semicircles. Take one semicircle, and form a cone by folding it along the straight edge, sealing the edge with a little water.
  6. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge by pinching it together, ensuring no filling escapes.
  7. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
  8. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
  9. Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  10. In a small bowl, mix yogurt, mint chutney, and lemon juice to create a spicy dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the samosas from absorbing too much oil.
  • Don’t overfill the samosas to avoid them bursting during frying.
  • Allow the dough to rest for a softer pastry.

Easy Variations

  • Add chopped carrots or bell peppers to the filling for extra color and crunch.
  • Use paneer or cheese for a creamier filling.
  • Spice up the dipping sauce with chopped green chilies or garlic for an added kick.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh salad with cucumber and tomatoes.
  • Mint or cilantro chutney for extra flavor.
  • Tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy option.
  • Sliced onions and lemon wedges for garnish.

Storage and Reheating

Crispy vegetable samosas can be stored 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 warmed through and crispy again. You can also freeze uncooked samosas for up to 3 months. Fry them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
