Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small cubes.
In a pot, boil the diced potatoes and carrot for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.
Add finely chopped ginger and garlic, and sauté for another minute.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper, and stir well.
Add the boiled potatoes, carrot, and frozen peas to the pan. Mix to combine with the spices.
Mash the vegetables slightly with a spoon and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the chopped green chili, garam masala, and freshly chopped coriander. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Preheat the oil for frying to 350°F (175°C).
Take the vegan puff pastry sheets and cut them into 4 x 5-inch rectangles.
Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each pastry rectangle, top with a sprinkle of vegan cheese.
Brush the edges of the pastry with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal.
Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
