Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 cups Boiled potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Green peas (frozen or fresh)
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix well with your hands until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water while kneading the dough until it comes together into a smooth and pliable texture. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

To prepare the filling, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions and grated ginger to the pan and sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder (if using). Cook the spices for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the boiled potatoes and green peas to the pan. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Step 8

Add salt to taste, lemon juice, and chopped fresh cilantro. Cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 9

Divide the rested dough into 12 equal parts and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 10

Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin, oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 11

Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it into a funnel shape. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 12

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling, then seal the open edge by pinching it together tightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 13

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat.

Step 14

Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 15

Serve the gluten-free vegetable samosas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
