Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) Whole wheat flour/Atta
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ajwain
- Little water to knead
- 1 cups (237 ml) Vegetables chopped
- 1 Onion
- A small piece Ginger
- 1 tsp Red chilly powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 cups (227 g) Boiled and mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, onion, and ginger; fry for 1-2 minutes. Add red chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala.
- Add chopped vegetables, a little water, cover, and cook.
- Add boiled and mashed potatoes and dry mango powder; mix well. Add coriander leaves and let cool.
For the samosa dough
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, salt, ajwain seeds, and 2 tbsp oil. Rub the oil into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add a little water to knead into a dough. The dough should be firm.
- Rest for 10 minutes, then grease your hands with oil and knead again.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, roll into rounds, and cut in half.
- Place a tablespoon of the vegetable/potato mixture on one half of each dough round.
- Form into a cone shape; press the sides together to seal.
- Grease a baking tray with butter paper. Place samosas on the tray and lightly brush with oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes, flip, brush with oil, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until done.
- Serve warm
Notes
- For a richer flavor, sauté the vegetables with a tablespoon of ghee instead of oil.
- To make ahead, prepare the filling and dough separately and assemble the samosas just before baking.
- If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it becomes pliable.
