For the Filling:

• 1 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 cup potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
   • Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is golden brown.
   • Add the potatoes, peas, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
   • Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder (if using), and salt. Cook for a few minutes until the spices are well incorporated.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro. Let the filling cool.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and rub it into the flour.
   • Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. Assemble the Samosas:
   • Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.
   • Cut each circle in half to create two semi-circles. Form a cone shape with each semi-circle, sealing the edge with a little water.
   • Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture and seal the open edge, pinching the sides to form a triangular shape. Ensure the edges are well sealed.
4. Fry the Samosas:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat.
   • Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Serve: Enjoy your homemade vegetable samosas with chutney or yogurt!
