01
Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Toss in the onion and let it cook for about a minute. Then add the garlic and all the spices—curry, ginger, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, coriander, cayenne, celery seed, tarragon, and cinnamon. Stir everything around until it smells amazing, about 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the potatoes and mixed veggies, and keep stirring for another 3 minutes.

Step 2
Pour in the broth and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let it cook gently, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are soft and most of the liquid has cooked away—this should take around 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 3
While that’s cooking, mix the flour with salt, oil, and water in a bowl. Start by making a little well in the flour to add the wet ingredients, then mix everything together until you get a stiff dough. Shape it into a ball, wrap it up in plastic wrap, and let it rest for about half an hour.

Step 4
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 10-inch circle, then cut each circle in half. Moisten the edges with a bit of water and shape each half into a cone by wrapping it around your finger. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the veggie filling into each cone and pinch the edges to seal them up.

Step 5
Finally, heat some oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the samosas in batches until they turn a lovely golden brown, which usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. Drain them on paper towels and serve while they’re nice and hot.
