Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Neutral vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 medium Carrot (diced small)
- 0.5 cups Frozen peas
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoons Ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water (a little at a time) and knead the flour into a firm, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.
Boil the diced potatoes and carrots in lightly salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the boiled potatoes, carrots, and peas to the pan. Mash slightly while mixing to combine the spices into the vegetables.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool completely.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter, and cut each circle in half to create two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a little water. Fill the cone with the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat the frying oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried samosas with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
