Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 large potatoes
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, peel, and mash them.

Step 2

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add cumin seeds until they start to sputter.

Step 3

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until raw smell disappears.

Step 4

Add the frozen peas and cook until they are tender.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed potatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Combine well and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in garam masala, lemon juice, and fresh coriander leaves. Let this filling cool completely.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Gradually add water while mixing to form a stiff dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Divide dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball into a thin oval shaped disc, about 6 inches long.

Step 10

Cut each disc in half to form two semicircles.

Step 11

Take one semicircle and form a cone, sealing the straight edge with a little water.

Step 12

Fill the cone with potato filling and seal the open edge with water to form a triangular samosa. Ensure the seams are pressed tightly.

Step 13

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush with the remaining olive oil.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp.

Step 15

Serve warm with your favorite chutney or sauce.
