Ingredients
Filling:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup diced onion
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon celery seed
¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups diced potatoes
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, diced
2 cups vegetable broth
Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup room-temperature water
oil for frying
Directions
Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 1 minute. Add garlic, curry, ginger, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, coriander, cayenne pepper, celery seed, tarragon, and cinnamon. Cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add potatoes and mixed vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
Pour broth into the potato mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and broth is mostly absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
Place flour in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center; add salt, oil, and water, in that order. Mix into a stiff dough, roll into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball into a 10-inch circle. Cut each circle in half, moisten the edges, and shape each half into a cone around your finger. Fill dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture. Pinch edges shut.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Deep-fry samosas in batches until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.
Cook's Note:
Substitute chicken broth for the vegetarian broth if you don't need these samosas to be vegetarian.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
