Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons oil (plus more for frying)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water, kneading until you form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash them in a large bowl.
- Add peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well and let the filling cool.
- Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by bringing the straight edges together, sealing the edge with a little water.
- Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge by pinching it together, ensuring no filling escapes. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that crispy texture.
- Don’t skip the resting time for the dough; it makes rolling easier.
- Experiment with spices in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
Easy Variations
- Swap the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter filling.
- Add chopped spinach or other greens for added nutrition.
- Use lentils or chickpeas for a protein-packed alternative.
What to Serve With It
- Mint chutney for a refreshing dip.
- Tamarind sauce for a tangy twist.
- A side salad to balance the richness.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
