Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour for dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt for dough
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for dough
  • 1/2 cup warm water for dough
  • 2 large potatoes boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 cup peas cooked
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 2 green chilies finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon tumeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 inch in pot

Instructions
 

  •  In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt for the dough. Add vegetable oil and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water and knead to form a smooth consistency. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • In a pan, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until onions turn translucent.
  • Add turmeric powder and garam masala. Mix well and cook for a minute. Add mashed potatoes and cooked peas to the pan. Mix everything together until well combined. Cook for a few minutes, then remove from heat. Add fresh coriander leaves, lemon juice, and salt to the filling mixture. Mix well and let it cool.
  • Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half. Take one half and fold it into a wide cone shape, sealing the new edge with a little water (but leaving a hole at the top for filling).
  • Fill the cone with a tablespoon of the prepared filling. Seal the top of the cone by pressing the edges together firmly. Repeat for all the dough and filling.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few samosas at a time and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs and drain excess oil on a paper towel. Serve the vegan samosas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce!

Notes

TO STORE: Allow them to cool completely at room temperature then place them in an airtight container or ziplock bag. They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. When ready to enjoy, reheat them in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
TO FREEZE: For longer-term storage, samosas can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Wrap each samosa individually in plastic wrap or foil, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and store in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
