Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 medium, boiled and mashed Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add the olive oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

For the filling, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add grated ginger and chopped green chili. Sauté for a minute.

Step 5

Add the mashed potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Cook the mixture for 3-5 minutes until everything is well combined and aromatic. Remove from heat and stir in chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow the filling to cool.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Divide the dough into small golf ball-sized portions.

Step 9

Roll each portion into a thin oval or circle about 4-5 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 10

Take one semi-circle, fold into a cone, and seal the edge using a little water. Fill the cone with potato and pea filling.

Step 11

Seal the top edge by pressing down and using a bit of water to help seal completely.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 13

Place the filled samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray.

Step 14

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, flipping them halfway through the baking time.

Step 15

Serve warm with your choice of chutney or yogurt dip.
