Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 3 medium Boiled potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander
- Low-fat cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the carrot. Finely chop the onion and green chili.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and green chili, then sauté for an additional minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add chopped carrot and green peas, cook for 3-4 minutes. If using frozen peas, rinse under warm water before adding.
Add boiled and roughly mashed potatoes to the mix and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Season the vegetable mixture with coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Add fresh coriander, stir, and cook for another 1 minute, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a small ball. Flatten each ball into a small circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle, apply a little water on the straight edge, and shape it into a cone.
Stuff the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared filling, then seal the open end to form a triangular samosa.
Preheat an air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Lightly coat each samosa with a low-fat cooking spray.
Place the samosas in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other, and cook for around 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
