How to Make Vegetable Samosa

  1. Prepare the filling: Heat oil in a pan. Add onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute. Add potatoes, peas, carrots, and green chilies. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the spices: Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  3. Cool the filling: Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  4. Prepare the dough (if making your own): In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (approx. 5 inches in diameter).
  6. Assemble the samosas: Cut each circle in half. Fold each half into a cone shape, sealing the edges with water. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture.
  7. Fry the samosas: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok. Carefully fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
  8. Drain and serve: Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
