Homemade Vegan Samosas
These vegan samosas feature a crispy outer shell that gives way to a savory filling of spiced potatoes and peas. They are not only delicious but also offer a delightful combination of textures – crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Water as needed
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup green peas, cooked
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or to taste
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix until crumbly. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat a little oil and add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add the boiled potatoes, green peas, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes, stirring to combine. Let it cool.
- Roll the Pastry: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles.
- Shape the Samosas: Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with water. Fill the cone with the potato filling and seal the top edge, pinching tightly to prevent the filling from escaping.
- Fry the Samosas: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the samosas in batches and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy your vegan samosas hot with tamarind chutney or mint chutney.
