Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and sea salt. Melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil and add it to the flour along with 3 beaten eggs. Mix until the mixture forms a dough. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without crumbling.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, rolling each into a ball. Flatten them gently to form discs, then carefully roll out each disc between sheets of parchment paper to form thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
Peel and dice the sweet potato and carrot into small cubes. Boil in a small pot with water until tender. Add in frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices and bloom them slightly.
Add the cooked vegetables to the skillet and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Season with salt to taste.
Remove the mixture from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and let cool slightly.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle, pinching the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with melted coconut oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the samosas warm or at room temperature.
