Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 medium Potatoes (boiled, peeled, and mashed)
• 0.5 cups Frozen peas (thawed)
• 1 large Carrot (finely diced and steamed)
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoons Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoons Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• None Non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

To make the dough, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the oil is evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil (optional) or a splash of water. Sauté the grated ginger, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the mashed potatoes, peas, and diced carrot. Mix well to combine all the spices with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and chopped cilantro to the vegetable mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with water.

Step 9

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture, being careful not to overfill. Seal the open edge by pinching it together tightly with water. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the samosas with non-stick spray to help them achieve a golden-brown color.

Step 11

Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the samosas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite chutney or yogurt dip.
