Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour - make sure it contains xanthan gum
  • 4 tablespoons oil - plus extra for brushing
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes - cooked and mashed
  • 1/4 cup peas - optional, for added texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder - adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Water - as needed to form dough

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and cumin seeds. Add the oil and mix until crumbly.
  • Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • While the dough rests, prepare the filling by combining mashed sweet potatoes, peas, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, lemon juice, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, then roll each ball into a thin circle.
  • Cut the circle in half to create two semi-circles. Form a cone by folding one semi-circle and sealing the edge with a little water.
  • Fill the cone with about a tablespoon of the sweet potato filling and seal the top by pressing the edges together. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with oil.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
  • Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Notes

For a crispier texture, you can brush the samosas with oil before baking.
To add a spicy kick, consider adding some chopped green chilies to the filling.
Feel free to substitute sweet potato with regular potatoes or a mixture of both.
For storage, keep the uncooked samosas in the freezer and bake them fresh when needed.
