Vegetable Samosa (Baked)

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Canola Oil
• 1/2 cup Warm Water
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 cups Potatoes (boiled, peeled & mashed)
• 1 cup Green Peas (frozen or fresh)
• 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
• 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/4 tsp Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Amchur (Dry Mango Powder)
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil (for brushing)

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1/4 cup Canola Oil, and 1/2 tsp Salt. Gradually add the 1/2 cup Warm Water while mixing until a firm dough forms. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a medium pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil. Add the 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the 1 cup Green Peas, 2 cups mashed Potatoes, 1 tsp Garam Masala, 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder, 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder, 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder, 1/4 tsp Red Chili Powder, and 1/2 tsp Amchur (Dry Mango Powder). Mix everything together well and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
3. 3Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. 4Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Take one portion and roll it into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half to create two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and moisten the straight edge with a little water. Fold the straight edge over to form a cone shape, pressing the edges together to seal.
5. 5Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled potato and pea filling into the cone. Be careful not to overfill. Moisten the open edges of the cone with water and press them together firmly to seal the samosa into a neat triangle or half-moon shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling until all samosas are formed.
6. 6Arrange the formed samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops and sides of each samosa with the 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil. This will help them become golden and crispy.
7. 7Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and feel crisp to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
