Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (or a gluten-free flour blend if needed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 medium (peeled and diced) Potatoes
• 0.5 cups Green peas (frozen or fresh)
• 1 medium (diced) Carrots
• 1 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoons Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoons (minced) Ginger
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 3 cups (approx.) Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.

Step 2

Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, kneading until a firm but smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Boil the potatoes, green peas, and carrots until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 6

Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder (if using). Stir well.

Step 8

Add the boiled vegetables to the pan and gently mash them with a spatula. Mix to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped cilantro and adjust salt to taste. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 10

Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, then cut it in half to form two semicircles.

Step 11

Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing along the side with water.

Step 12

Fill the cone with 1–2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling. Pinch and seal the top edge tightly with water to form a triangle samosa.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 14

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4–6 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 16

Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
