Description

A healthier twist on a classic Indian snack! Crispy baked pastries filled with spiced potatoes and veggies.


Ingredients

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
  • 1/2 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp Dry Mango Powder/Amchur
  • Salt
  • Coriander/Cilantro leaves
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 cups (227 g) Boiled and mashed potatoes


Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add chopped vegetables, a little water, cover, and cook.
  3. Add boiled and mashed potatoes and dry mango powder; mix well. Add coriander leaves and let cool.

For the samosa dough

  1. 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.
  2. Add a little water to knead into a dough. The dough should be firm.
  3. Rest for 10 minutes, then grease your hands with oil and knead again.
  4. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, roll into rounds, and cut in half.
  5. Place a tablespoon of the vegetable/potato mixture on one half of each dough round.
  6. Form into a cone shape; press the sides together to seal.
  7. Grease a baking tray with butter paper. Place samosas on the tray and lightly brush with oil.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
