Ingredients

- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

How to Make Crispy Vegetable Samosas
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the boiled mashed potatoes, thawed peas, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place a tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Repeat the process until all the filling is used.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil for frying over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve the perfect crispiness.
- Don’t skip the step of sealing the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
- Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
Easy Variations
- Add finely chopped carrots or bell peppers to the filling for extra crunch and flavor.
- Substitute the mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes for a unique twist.
- For a spicy kick, include chopped green chilies in the filling.
What to Serve With It
- Mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping.
- A fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Yogurt sauce to cool down the heat.
