Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.5 cups Water
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium Carrots, diced
- 0.5 cups Green peas, frozen or fresh
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix it into the flour using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside to rest for 20 minutes.
Boil the diced potatoes and carrots in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle.
Stir in the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder (if using). Stir for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the boiled potatoes, carrots, and green peas. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Mash the vegetables slightly with the back of a spoon for a cohesive filling. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to create 2 semicircles.
Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with 2–3 teaspoons of the vegetable filling.
Seal the open edge of the cone tightly with water, pinching or crimping to ensure there are no gaps. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil for frying in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of dough dropped into it bubbles and rises to the surface.
Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5–7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the samosas warm with chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
