Ingredients
For the pastry:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Water as needed
For the filling:
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, corn)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- To make the pastry, mix the flour, salt, and oil in a mixing bowl. Add water gradually to form a dough. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- For the filling, heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped onion and green chilies. Saute until the onions turn translucent.
- Add ginger paste and saute for a minute. Then add the mixed vegetables and cook until they are tender. Add mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Add coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
- Take the rested dough and divide it into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Roll it into a thin circular sheet. Cut the sheet in half to make two semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle and make a cone out of it by joining the straight edges. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling. Apply water on the edges of the cone and seal it by pressing the edges together.
- Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Once the oil is hot, add the samosas in small batches and fry them until they turn golden brown. Drain the excess oil and serve hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
Tips
- If you don’t want to deep-fry the samosas, you can bake them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- You can add your favorite spices to the filling to make it more flavorful.
- Make sure to seal the samosas properly to prevent the filling from spilling out while frying.
- Serve the samosas hot for maximum crispiness.
