Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 cups Peas (frozen or fresh)
• 1 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoons Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Add olive oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small cubes. Boil or steam the potatoes, carrot, and peas until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast until aromatic. Stir in grated ginger, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the boiled vegetables to the spice mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Add the remaining salt, lemon juice, and cilantro. Mash the mixture slightly with a fork while leaving some chunks for texture. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to create 2 semi-circles.

Step 7

Shape each semi-circle into a cone by folding one side over the other and sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling and seal the open edges by pinching them together.

Step 8

Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray them with cooking spray to ensure crispness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.
