Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water (more if needed)
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying

How to Make Crispy 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 crumbly. Gradually add water, mixing until a firm dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin oval shape on a floured surface, about 6 inches long.
5. Cut the oval 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.
6. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, then seal the open edge by pressing it together with water, forming a triangular shape. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. In a deep pan, heat oil for frying over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
8. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that perfect crunch.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
• Make sure the filling is cooled before stuffing to prevent soggy samosas.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes for a twist on flavor.
• Add chopped spinach or carrots to the filling for extra nutrition.
• Spice it up by adding chopped green chilies or fresh herbs like cilantro.

What to Serve With It

• Mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping.
• A side of yogurt or raita to cool down the spices.
• Fresh salad with cucumber and tomato for a refreshing contrast.
