What is a Vegetable Samosa?

A Vegetable Samosa is one of the most iconic and beloved Indian snacks across the world. These triangular pastries, stuffed with mildly spiced potatoes and peas, are deep-fried until golden and crispy. Crunchy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside — they’re perfect as an appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to a meal.

At Dusmesh Indian Restaurant in Cincinnati, OH, our vegetable samosas are handmade fresh and served hot with traditional mint and tamarind chutneys. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, it’s one appetizer you don’t want to miss.

Ingredients in a Classic Vegetable Samosa

  • All-purpose flour (maida) – for the crispy outer pastry shell
  • Boiled potatoes – mashed to a soft texture
  • Green peas – for sweetness and texture
  • Spices – cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder
  • Ginger, green chili, and fresh coriander – for flavor and heat
  • Oil or ghee – for frying and mixing into dough

How It’s Made – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • Mix flour, salt, carom seeds, and ghee.
  • Add water slowly and knead into a firm dough.
  • Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  • Sauté cumin seeds in oil, then add ginger, green chili, and boiled potatoes.
  • Add peas, turmeric, garam masala, and coriander powder.
  • Mash and mix until well-blended. Let it cool.

Step 3: Shape the Samosas

  • Roll dough into circles, cut in half, and form cones.
  • Fill each cone with the potato-pea mixture and seal the edges.

Step 4: Fry the Samosas

  • Deep-fry in medium-hot oil until golden and crisp.

At Dusmesh Indian Restaurant, our samosas are crafted with this same method — always fresh, always flavorful.
