Vegan Samosa

These vegan samosas are delightfully crispy and filled with a spiced potato and pea mixture, making them a perfect snack or lunch option. Served with tangy chutney, they're a satisfying and flavorful treat that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 1 cup
• oil - 2 tablespoons
• water - 1/4 cup
• potato - 2 medium, boiled and mashed
• green peas - 1/2 cup, cooked
• onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• green chili - 1, finely chopped (optional)
• salt - to taste
• oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of oil, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
3. Add grated ginger, green chili (if using), and cook for another minute. Then, add the boiled and mashed potatoes, cooked green peas, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.
5. Take one semi-circle, and form a cone by folding it over. Seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the potato-pea filling and seal the top by pressing the edges together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
6. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
7. Serve hot with chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
