simple recipe for oil-free samosas:
### Ingredients:
**For the Dough:**
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water (or as needed)
**For the Filling:**
- 1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
- 1 cup boiled and chopped peas
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves (optional)
- Salt to taste
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Dough:**
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
- Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. **Prepare the Filling:**
- In a non-stick pan, dry-roast cumin seeds and mustard seeds until fragrant.
- Add the turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and chili powder. Stir well.
- Add the boiled potatoes and peas to the pan. Mix thoroughly, breaking up any large lumps of potato.
- Add lemon juice and salt. Cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Mix in the coriander leaves if using.
3. **Assemble the Samosas:**
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
- Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.
- Fold each semi-circle into a cone shape and seal the edge with a little water.
- Fill the cone with the prepared potato and pea filling.
- Pinch the open edge of the cone to seal it completely.
4. **Bake the Samosas:**
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even baking.
