Ingredients

• 200 grams Vegan meat substitute (such as soy curls, jackfruit, or seitan)
• 100 grams Frozen green peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 1 medium Green chili
• 1 large Potato
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 half-teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 20 pieces Ready-made vegan spring roll shells
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Boil until tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they sizzle.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chili and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the vegan meat substitute to the pan, breaking it into smaller pieces. Cook until browned.

Step 6

Mix in the boiled potatoes and frozen peas. Stir well.

Step 7

Add coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt, and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in chopped fresh coriander and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 9

Cut each vegan spring roll shell in half to form two equal-sized portions.

Step 10

Take one portion of the shell, fold it into a cone shape, and fill with 1-2 tablespoons of the stuffing. Seal the open edge with a little water or flour paste to form a samosa shape.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining mix and shells.

Step 12

In a deep pot, heat the remaining vegetable oil to 175°C (347°F).

Step 13

Carefully add the samosas in batches into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes each batch.

Step 14

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.

Step 15

Serve the vegan meat samosas hot with mint or tamarind chutney.
