Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 0 Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Melt the coconut oil and add it to the dry ingredients along with the water. Mix well to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust the water quantity if needed to ensure the dough holds together.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

For the filling, peel and cube the boiled potatoes into small pieces.

Step 5

In a pan, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then, add grated ginger and sauté for a minute.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes and peas to the pan. Season with coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt to taste.

Step 8

Mix thoroughly and let the mixture cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender.

Step 9

Add lemon juice and chopped cilantro to the filling, combining all the ingredients. Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 10

To assemble the samosas, divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one into a ball.

Step 11

Flatten each ball between a sheet of parchment paper using a rolling pin to a 6-inch circle.

Step 12

Cut each circle in half with a knife to form two semi-circles.

Step 13

Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

Step 14

Fill the cone with the potato-pea filling, then seal the open end by pinching the edges together.

Step 15

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 16

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for frying. Carefully fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 17

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 18

Serve the gluten-free coconut samosas warm with your choice of chutney or sauce.
