Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 small Carrot, diced
• 0.5 cup Green peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0 Cooking spray (for baking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil. Mix until crumbly.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, boil the diced potatoes and carrots in a pot of water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the boiled potatoes, carrots, peas, green chili (if using), and all the spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala). Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Cook for 3-4 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Allow the mixture to cool completely.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Cut the circle in half to form two semicircles. Shape each semicircle into a cone by folding the straight edge over and sealing with a little water.

Step 10

Fill each cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture. Seal the open edges by pinching or pressing firmly.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium chutney or yogurt dip.
