Homemade Vegan Samosas with Potato and Pea Filling
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons neutral oil (such as refined coconut)
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
Filling
- 3 medium starchy potatoes
- 1 cup peas
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1.5 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1/2 inch knob of ginger
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Preparation
Combine flour, cumin, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Add oil and mix by rubbing it into the flour until crumbly. Add water one tablespoon at a time until dough comes together.
Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and rest for 30 minutes.
For the filling: Heat a large sauté pan over medium/high heat. Add oil, then mustard seeds and cumin; let them pop and brown.
Mix in chili powder, ginger, and garlic, then add peas and stir.
Add garam masala, turmeric, salt, and potatoes; mix well. Mash potatoes to thicken consistency, then add cilantro and set aside to cool.
Divide dough into 4 equal sections. Roll out each to an 8-inch disk, cut in half, form cones, fill with filling, and seal.
Brush with oil, preheat air fryer to 350°F, and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy.
