Ingredients
  

  • 25 Spring Roll Shell super thin, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 Cinnamon Stick
  • tablespoon Fresh Ginger
  • 1 Chili Pepper minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tumeric
  • 2 Red Potato diced
  • 1 cup Carrot
  • 1 cup Peas
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • Vegetable Oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl, sprinkle with two tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave cook for 4 minutes.
  • Combine the carrots, peas, and corn in a bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of water, cover and microwave cook for 3 minutes
  • In a large pot, heat the oil on medium heat and add the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick.
  • When the cumin is slightly brown and fragrant, turn the heat to low and add the ginger, chili pepper, turmeric and garam masala. Stir for one minute.
  • Add the potatoes and return to medium heat. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, salt and sugar.
  • Add the chopped cilantro, let the mixture cool and remove the cinnamon stick.
  • In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup water with the flour and set aside.
  • Cut the spring roll sheets into quarters so that you have four long pieces.
  • Taking the corner of one strip fold it to make a cone shaped pocket and fill the pocket with about a teaspoon of the filling.
  • Continue to fold the strip over to create a triangle shape and seal the remaining edge with a dab of flour water mixture.
  • In a large deep fryer, heat about 1 to 1 ½ inch of vegetable oil to medium heat. To test the temperature, place a small piece of the dough in the oil. If it is ready, it will sizzle and rise to the top.
  • Place the samosas in the pan a few at a time, turn slowly and fry until golden brown.

Notes

  • Garam masala is a spice mixture that can be found in Indian grocery stores.
  • The spring roll sheets can be found in the frozen section at Asian markets. They come in different versions so look for the thinnest.
  • To bake instead of fry, brush each samosa with oil, lay them flat on baking sheet, and bake at 400°F for about 8 minutes, turning them over after 4 minutes.
