Perfect for parties, appetizers, or a delightful snack, these vegetable samosas are easy to make and sure to be a hit with everyone.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Boil the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Heat a bit of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the ground cumin, dried coriander, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices become fragrant.
- Add the cooked potatoes and peas to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, gently mashing some of the potatoes with the back of a spoon.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and remove the pan from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares (around 6-8 squares per sheet, depending on your desired samosa size).
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold one corner of the pastry over to the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal, using a little water if needed to help the pastry stick.
- Crimp the edges with a fork to ensure they are sealed properly.
- Arrange the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce!
Tips:
- Fine Dice: Ensure the onion and potatoes are finely diced to ensure even cooking and a smoother filling texture.
- Spice Adjustments: Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference. Feel free to add more or less based on your taste.
- Seal Edges: Properly seal the edges of the puff pastry to prevent the filling from spilling out while baking or frying.
- Pre-cook Potatoes: Boil or microwave the potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help achieve a soft and cohesive filling.
- Use Fresh Coriander: Fresh coriander leaves add a burst of flavor. Be sure to use them as they are more aromatic and flavorful than dried coriander.
Now that you've successfully made these delicious vegetable samosas, it's time to serve and enjoy them with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. Whether it's for a special occasion or simply to satisfy a craving, these samosas are sure to bring a smile to your face with each bite. Happy cooking and enjoy your homemade treat!
