Crispy baked samosa stuffed with a combination of cauliflower, potatoes, peas, carrots, and spices. These easy vegetarian samosa use a store bought wrapper to speed up the cooking process.
These crispy samosa taste every bit as incredible as the kind you order from the restaurant. As someone who loves eating out - that is saying a lot!
To lighten up the recipe significantly, the samosa are baked instead of fried and stuffed with cauliflower instead of potatoes.
There are a million samosa recipes out there, and this recipe can be easily tweaked to include your favorite flavors. I wanted something quick and easy, so I went with a simple pea and carrot samosa and just used curry powder and garam masala to create the Indian flavors.
Also, if you are eating low carb, the pureed cauliflower with carrots, peas, and spices is delicious all on its own. The calorie count on these is really low since it is just veggies and the wonton wrappers, which are only 44 calories apiece.
Key Ingredients For Vegetarian Samosa
When you use fresh ingredients to make this Indian food recipe, you will be able to taste the difference. It has so much more flavor! Here's what I used in my samosa recipes:
- Vegetables: I used cauliflower, peas, and carrots. If you use other types of vegetables, just be sure and cut them up really small to fit inside the wonton wrappers.
- Spices: Curry and garam masala are spices that you typically find in Indian recipes. Add some salt and pepper for more flavor.
- Wonton Wrappers: This is so much easier than trying to make your pastry. It saves a lot of time, and they are relatively inexpensive for a significant amount of samosa.
- Sauce Ingredients: For the mint cilantro sauce, I used fresh garlic, jalapeno, mint, cilantro, sugar, and lime juice. Blend everything and serve. It really is that simple! Add more water if you want to thin it out.
