Vegetable Samosa

Vegetable samosas are a delightful, crispy pastry filled with a spiced mixture of potatoes and peas, perfect for a hearty breakfast. These savory treats are best enjoyed with tangy chutneys for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Potatoes - 200 grams
• Green peas - 100 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon (to taste)
• Oil - for frying
• Water - as needed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them in a bowl.
3. In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions, ginger, and green chili. Sauté until the onions turn golden.
4. Add the mashed potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt to the pan. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes. Let the filling cool.
5. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval shape.
6. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, create a cone shape by folding it, and seal the edge with water.
7. Fill the cone with the potato mixture and seal the open edge by pressing it tightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
8. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
9. Remove the samosas and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney.
