Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Water (cold)
• 2 medium Russet potato (peeled and cubed)
• 1 medium Carrot (peeled and chopped)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and chilled, cubed unsalted butter. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead lightly, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, add the cubed potatoes and chopped carrot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked potato and carrot along with the frozen peas. Mash lightly with a fork for a chunky texture. Add lemon juice and mix well. Allow the filling to cool completely.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to create two semi-circles.

Step 8

To shape the samosas, take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone. Seal the edge with a small dab of water. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling, then pinch the top closed to seal the samosa. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with cooking spray for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the samosas are crisp and golden brown. Serve warm.
