Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 3 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 medium Carrot (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 cups Neutral oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the vegetable oil, rubbing it into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add water a little at a time, kneading the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Boil the diced potatoes and carrot in salted water until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

Step 7

Add the boiled potatoes, carrots, and frozen peas to the pan. Mash slightly while mixing to help bind the filling together. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and roll out into a thin oval shape.

Step 9

Cut each oval in half to form two semi-circles. Fold each semi-circle into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water.

Step 10

Fill each cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling, then pinch and fold the top edge to seal the samosa completely.

Step 11

Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the samosas in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 12

Drain the fried samosas on a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm with chutney or vegan yogurt dip.
