Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Canola oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 medium, boiled and mashed Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add the canola oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add ginger garlic paste to the pan and sauté for another minute. Then add turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Stir well.
Add the boiled mashed potatoes and peas to the spice mixture. Mix everything thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
Divide the dough into 12 equal parts and roll them into balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 4 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Fold each semi-circle to form a cone and seal the edge with a little water.
Fill each cone with about one tablespoon of the potato and pea mixture. Seal the open end with water, pressing to secure.
Place the filled samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to help them attain a golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the samosas are golden brown, rotating the tray halfway through baking.
Remove samosas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite chutney or dip.
