Baked Vegetarian Samosas

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup ghee or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons water (or as needed)
  • 1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Oil for brushing

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ghee, salt, and cumin seeds. Slowly add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  2. For the filling, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl. Add the green peas, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball out into a thin oval shape. Cut it in half to form two semi-circles.
  5. Take one semi-circle and form a cone shape by folding it over, sealing the edge with a little water. Leave the top open. Fill the cone with a spoonful of the potato-pea mixture, then seal the top by pressing the edges together.
  6. Brush the samosas lightly with oil on the outside and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Enjoy your baked vegetarian samosas as a delightful addition to your meal or as a snack to share with friends and family. The delicious filling and flaky crust are sure to please everyone!
