Hello everyone 🙂 This recipe of mine is a recipe that is very close to my heart. If there is one Indian food that I can truly say I LOVE, it is definitely a good homemade samosa. I’m pretty fortunate because my mom grew up with a desire to learn new recipes, and her passion for that was passed on to me. In the past years, we have tried so many different variations, but I have to say that these Spicy Potato, Carrot & Cheese Samosas hit the spot each and every time!!

Making The Dough / Crust

The samosa dough is usually the part that seems intimidating to me. Doughs in general stress me out, lol. The ingredients are super easy, and if you have a Kitchen Aid or a dough mixer, add everything in there and it will be done in no time! Even if you don’t have any appliances to help you out, I promise the dough is extremely easy and quick to make!

My Favorite Fillings

If you know me, you know I don’t really like peas. These potatoes have all of your typical, delicious, ethnic flavors, but they are elevated. I’ve eliminated the boring peas and added some cubed carrots, onion, garlic, jalapenos, Thai chili peppers, AND CHEESE 🙂 Cheese makes me so damn happy! However, like mostly all of my recipes, feel free to substitute for any veggies you like.

Making Big Batches & Freezing

We always double, or sometimes triple, this recipe and make large batches! It honestly takes less effort to make more at once, than a second batch a second time, I swear! When you are done folding the samosas, you can either deep fry or oven fry immediately if you plan on serving them that day. If you want to freeze them, fry / bake them until they are halfway done, and then freeze once they are completely cooled off. When you are ready to take out of the freezer, simply fry until golden brown. 

If you’re in the mood for more Indian recipes, you have to check out my Mom’s Palak Paneer which is loaded with fresh spinach and seasoned to perfection. OR, try my Mom’s Patuda No Lot, which is gingery, garlicky, and perfect for a cold night in 🙂
