Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium sized sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup of green peas
Instructions
- Place the flour and the shortening and salt in the base of a food processor. Process until well mixed. Add in the water and run for about a minute. The mixture should come together and then form a ball.
- Remove from the food processor and give it a good knead. The dough should be smooth and a little elastic. Place in a container, cover and place in the refrigerator.
- In the meantime heat the and add in the cumin seeds and wait until they sizzle. Add in the red onion and saute until wilted and beginning to turn golden.
- Add in the potato, sweet potato, cayenne pepper and salt mix well. Add in about 1/2 cup of water, cover and let the vegetables cook for 10 minutes. Remove the cover and add in the peas. Let the mixture cook until any water has evaporated. The potatoes should be soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon. Allow the mixture to cool enough to handle comfortably.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and break into walnut sized balls for small samosas or larger balls for larger samosas. Roll out to a circle. Cut into half. Shape into a cone and fill enough to comfortably fill the pocket. Carefully seal the edges. Place on the air fryer basket or sheet pan.
- Complete until filled. To air fry cook at 500 degrees for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve hot.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes turning once.
