Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 6-8 tablespoons water (as needed)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Oil for frying

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas

  1. Start by making the dough. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water, kneading until you form a smooth dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Boil the diced potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash in a bowl. Add the green peas, cumin seeds, ground coriander, grated ginger, chopped green chilies, and garam masala. Mix well and set aside to cool.
  3. After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.
  4. Cut each disc in half to create two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it over, sealing the edge with a little water.
  5. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge by pinching it together, ensuring there are no gaps.
  6. Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used up.
  7. 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 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite tangy dipping sauces.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the samosas to prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying; this helps maintain the oil temperature.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped cilantro or mint to the filling.
  • If you prefer baking, brush the assembled samosas with oil and bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.

Easy Variations

  • Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or add carrots for a different flavor profile.
  • Experiment with spices by adding chili powder or turmeric to the filling.
  • For a cheesy twist, incorporate crumbled paneer or shredded cheese into the filling.

What to Serve With It

  • Mint chutney for a refreshing touch.
  • Tamarind sauce for a sweet and tangy contrast.
  • Yogurt sauce with herbs for a cooling effect.
  • Sliced cucumber and radishes for a crunchy side.

Storage and Reheating

Crispy Vegetable Samosas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness, or air fry them for a quick reheat.
