• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups diced potatoes
• ½ cup diced onion
• ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
• 2 cups vegetable broth

• ¼ teaspoon celery seed
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, diced
• 1 cup room-temperature water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Heat oil in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Deep-fry samosas in batches until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.
