Vegetable samosas are a popular Indian snack filled with a savory mixture of vegetables and spices, wrapped in a crispy pastry shell. Vegetable samosas are loved for their combination of textures and flavors, with the crispy pastry shell and the spiced vegetable filling providing a delicious and satisfying snack. They are a staple in Indian cuisine and are also enjoyed in many other parts of the world.

Here’s a recipe to make vegetable samosas at home:

Ingredients:

For the filling:

  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, corn), finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (optional)

For the pastry shell:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water, as needed

For frying:

  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the filling:
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add chopped onion, ginger, and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
  • Add green chilies, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Mix well.
  • Add mixed vegetables and cook for a few minutes until they become tender.
  • Add mashed potatoes, salt, and lemon juice. Mix everything together and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the filling cool. Add chopped coriander leaves if desired.
  1. Prepare the pastry shell:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and oil. Mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes.
  1. Assemble the samosas:
  • Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or circular shape.
  • Cut the rolled dough in half. Take one half and fold it into a cone shape, overlapping the straight edges and sealing the edges with water.
  • Fill the cone with the vegetable filling, making sure not to overstuff it.
  • Moisten the edges of the cone with water and press to seal the samosa. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
  1. Fry the samosas:
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in a few samosas at a time. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally to ensure even frying.
  • Remove the fried samosas using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  1. Serve:
  • Vegetable samosas are traditionally served hot with tamarind chutney or mint chutney. They can also be enjoyed on their own or with a cup of tea as a snack.

Enjoy your homemade vegetable samosas with their crispy exterior and flavourful vegetable filling!
