Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
• 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
• 2 large 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 turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

How to Make Vegetable Samosas

1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, kneading until you form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough rests, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Mash the potatoes in a large bowl.
3. Add the green peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semicircles.
5. Take one semicircle and form a cone shape by folding it over itself. Seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling, then seal the open edge by pressing it firmly together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently add the samosas in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for a flaky texture.
• Keep the filling cool before assembling to prevent soggy samosas.
• Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and achieve an even crispiness.
• For a healthier option, bake the samosas at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden, brushing them lightly with oil.

Easy Variations

• Add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the filling for extra crunch.
• Spice it up with green chilies or red chili powder for a kick.
• Substitute potatoes with sweet potatoes or other vegetables like carrots and corn.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping.
• A simple salad of cucumber and tomatoes for a fresh contrast.
• Yogurt sauce or raita to cool down the spices.
