  • Stunning presentation: Eye-catching triangular shapes.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well and let the filling cool.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
