Best 10 The Best Vegetarianvegan Vegetable Samosas Recipes

BAKED VEGGIE SAMOSAS

Steps:

• To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder, a good pinch of sea salt and the ajwain seeds (if using) in a large bowl.
• Use your fingers to rub in 120ml of oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 150ml of cold water, then bring it together with your hands into a rough dough, adding a splash more water, if needed.
• Place in a flour-dusted bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
• Peel and chop the potatoes into rough 2.5cm chunks, then break the cauliflower into florets so they're roughly the same size.
• Add the potatoes to a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender, adding the cauliflower after 3 minutes. Add the peas for the final minute, then drain.
• Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, then peel and finely grate the ginger. Deseed and finely chop the chilli.
• Drizzle a lug of oil into a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the cumin and onion and cook for 8 minutes, or until softened but not coloured. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli, then fry for a further few minutes.
• Bash the fennel seeds to a fine powder and add to the pan along with the garam masala and ground coriander. Stir well.
• Stir the cooked veg into the pan and crush gently with a potato masher - don't overdo it: you want a fairly chunky mixture. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season to taste. Leave to cool, then pick, finely chop and stir in the coriander leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Lightly grease a large baking tray with oil.
• On a flour-dusted surface, halve the dough and roll out each portion to about 3cm thick. Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out as many circles as you can, then roll into rounds, roughly ½cm thick and 18cm in diameter.
• Cut each round in half, then brush the straight edges with a little water. Roll into a cone shape, bringing the straight edges together and pressing lightly to seal.
• Spoon in the filling, brush the exposed dough with a little water, then fold over and press to seal. Place onto the prepared baking tray, then repeat with the remaining ingredients, keeping the samosas covered with a damp tea towel as you go.
• Brush the samosas with a little oil and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and piping hot through. Serve straightaway with mango chutney.

VEGGIE SAMOSAS

Steps:

• 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.

• 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.

VEGETARIAN SAMOSAS

Steps:

• MAKING THE DOUGH 1. Mix all dry ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. 2. Add oil and mix it into the flour really well with your hands. This is the important part - even though you can't really see the oil, you want to make sure it's completely distributed through the flour. The best way to do this is to rub it between your hands. 3. Then add water in small amounts at a time while continuing to mix the dough with your hands until a firm ball is formed. (You don't want it to be too soft or sticky, so go carefully with the water). Knead for a couple of minutes to make the dough slightly soft and pliable. Then add a bit of oil onto your hands and rub it all over the ball of dough. Cover with a wet cloth and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest and gluten to form.
• MAKING THE FILLING 1. Crumble the potatoes roughly with your fingers into a bowl. You don't want to mash them because you want some texture to your filling. Set aside. 2. Heat the oil in a . Add cumin seeds to toast them for a minute or so until they release their fragrance. Add ginger and sautee for another minute. Now add the green onions, peas, cilantro, and spices. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes before adding the potatoes. Stir to mix all the ingredients so that the potatoes are completely mixed into the other ingredients. Remove from heat and let it cool.
• MAKING THE SAMOSAS 1. Divide dough into about 8 egg sized balls and flatten them into round disks. Roll out each disks into about a 7-8″ thin circle. Use dry flour if needed to roll them out. Cut the circle in half with a knife or pizza cutter. 2. Take one half of the circle and using your finger, moisten all around the edges with a little water. Bring up both edges to the middle, overlapping slightly and press gently to seal the seam from the inside and outside with your fingers. Hold it in your hand like a cone. Fill the cone with a couple of tablespoons of filling and push it down with your finger to get rid of any air pockets. Then pinch the opening together sealing it tightly with your finger tips or with a fork. 3. Carry on with the rest of the dough and filling until you have made all the samosas. Line them up on a tray. 4. Heat oil in a wok, fryer or pot. Oil should be about 3-4 inches deep. When oil is hot (at least 300 degrees F), test it with a little piece of dough. It should sizzle and rise to the top. 5. Fry 5 to 6 samosas at a time, depending on the size of your frying pot. You don't want to crowd the samosas because that will bring the temperature down. Fry the samosas, turning them over occasionally, until they are golden-brown. Drain on a paper towel lined tray. Serve with your choice of chutney. Samosas also pair beautifully with Chana Masala (curried chick peas).
