These Vegan Samosas are a delightful blend of spiced potatoes and peas encased in a crispy, golden pastry, perfect for a satisfying American lunch. Enjoy them hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 1 cup
• water - 1/4 cup
• salt - 1/2 tsp
• oil - 2 tbsp (for dough)
• potatoes - 2 medium, boiled and mashed
• green peas - 1/2 cup, cooked
• cumin seeds - 1 tsp
• coriander powder - 1 tsp
• garam masala - 1/2 tsp
• turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• green chili - 1, finely chopped
• ginger - 1 tsp, grated
• salt - 1 tsp (for filling)
• oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp oil. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the grated ginger and chopped green chili, sauté for a minute.
3. Add the mashed potatoes, cooked peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and 1 tsp salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half to form two semicircles.
5. Take one semicircle, and form a cone by folding it along the straight edge. Seal the edge with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with about 2 tbsp of the potato filling, then seal the open end by pressing the edges together, ensuring there are no gaps.
7. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
8. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
9. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
