Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium Potato, peeled and cubed
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1.5 cups Vegan cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 0 Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil until the dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle. Then add minced ginger, cooking for one minute.

Step 3

Add the cubed potatoes to the saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Stir in the grated carrot, frozen peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Cook until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let it cool slightly before adding the shredded vegan cheese, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix to combine.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Form a cone shape with each semi-circle, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

Step 8

Fill the cone with about 2 tablespoons of the potato-cheese mixture, then seal the top edge to form a triangle.

Step 9

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
