In reply to Lorene. Hi! You don't actually need the Wholly Veggie chickpea meal for the dough, the ingredients of the dough are listed in the recipe card :) The filling alternative is also in the notes section in the card

Hullo, I would have loved to try this recipe but could not find the Wholly Veggie Chickpea meal. I looked on their website and it seems they no longer sell it. Would it work with regular chickpea flour instead?

In reply to Robin Einbinder. Hi! There is a substitute filling listed in the recipe :)

The Wholly Veggie products are not kosher. How would one make the filling by hand, or what do you suggest as a substitute filling?

In reply to Pat. Yes! To cook these in the air fryer, lightly brush or spray them with oil first and arrange in a single layer in your air fryer basket, leaving space between each. (you may need to work in a few batches). air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. They're done when golden-brown and crispy on the outside.

this recipe looks awesome and I can't wait to try it.
You mention in the recipe that an air fryer can be used but I don't see where it tells you how to use or the time and temperature. Could you please provide that?

No stupid questions! I specifically mean corn flour and not corn starch, which is completely different. Here's an example of corn flour: https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Flour-Gluten/dp/B07YQKMT18/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3NHSERJ4L4LTJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.W84QyPuMSgKB_QKwKuOP2n4XDxcs6wS3Z2hxyF8eWia9VEMq6GGz6RTqReG27wC5DKosNTEA_YaEl9a2uomiT4_GE2cU4DwZZ2ZKr5rtfr9FYX3JeIsMiKXXJSam4ybFurDJCnWnevsIT3Kk4TB5YXUlKMz1nyiH4KpHIZu_3n8oBj6B7_EwAd0caSSFDMycPL_3B280gXxSTrD3C4iQhvyh6N5TtFTGssqJKHiLVD4LWZKviQG5tJePdQIgL-DE_g0nEcP3rfuKIhZH1u-Os5zYoOn7cE4SvkWW7TaFrIgXr3ex7Pybua4-O43Ds-emzphFXxumbGRQsT1UrUlxl4ovvTMBoytF4LGYMS0Z5pogOu87pzkNV_FB1avBz6zacWA3vz8TxHdM8R735JHV_erX3pleYYjsIgnZN_YyIZ8AQWAyox30ab2O5zG535zX.00c_tPAZObM7DsPWdk4Fi_dN_7lcQHkArS-fiZOXO00&dib_tag=se&keywords=corn%2Bflour&qid=1738267271&sprefix=corn%2Bflour%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-7&th=1

I usually cook these samosas by pan frying them. It's honestly the best flavor!

I want to try this recipe, but my family doesn't have an air fryer (we do have a deep fryer tucked away somewhere, but we don't use it too often, if at all). Could these samosas be cooked in the oven or on the stove instead? Also, when you mentioned "corn flour" in the ingredients, did you actually mean corn flour, or corn starch? Apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but I was told this was something to be aware of.

In reply to Sofia. The problem is that coconut oil hardens in room temp, which you need for this recipe. I'd recommend switching it for vegan butter or even shortening if you're vegan.

In reply to Ami. Could I use olive oil instead of coconut oil? I'm afraid it will taste like coconut which I do not like unfortunately.

In reply to Ami. Oh no! Let me correct that right away.

I'm making this now and I so much appreciate you putting this recipe together! May I ask, I don't see where in the recipe instructions that you used two of the ingredients listed. For instance, the 1 tsp carom/fennel seed powder and the 1/8 tsp turmeric. I was wondering if maybe you added the turmeric to the dough because gf dough doesn't usually get brown/golden in the same way as other doughs. I cross referenced other recipes and I think that the fennel seed powder goes directly into the wrapper dough too but I'd love clarification. Thank you! PS. I see now that the turmeric and fennel powder is pictured as being put into the dough but it doesn't say that in either the detailed step by step instructions or in the brief instructions at the bottom.

In reply to Guy. Tried to respond days ago but comment didn't record. Sorry for delay! Use 2.5 cups and keep the rest of the flour mix to make roux or anything else. It's a great versatile mix!

Guy — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 23:00:22 +0000

I tried this recipe before… Delicious! But now I'm trying to make the dough from your mix suggestion. Problem is I arrive at 3 3/4cups mix but your recipe calls her pre-mix amount of 2.5 cups. Can you clarify?

In reply to GFG.

Absolutely! I am going to add it to the post itself, but here's the recipe for a traditional Indian-style potatoes and peas samosa filling:

Ingredients:
- 3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp water

Instructions:
1. Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add garlic paste and ginger paste. Cook for 30 seconds.
3. Add mashed potatoes, peas, coriander powder, turmeric and salt. Mix well.
4. Add water and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Remove from heat. Now your filling is ready. Use to stuff samosas as desired!

These look great! But I really wanted to make them with potatoes and peas, do you have a recipe or suggestions how to exchange the chickpeas for potatoes/peas?

In reply to Jess. Yay!! I am so glad you were not intimidated by this.

So you were right that these were a bit of a labour of love, definitely more work than just putting some store-bought ones into the oven. But it was WORTH IT!!

These had so much flavor and the pastry!!! Flaky and delicious.

That was a great tip for using parchment to help roll it out.

And the filling was so easy. I will be trying more of the wholly veg packets in the future!

Even my 7 year old who is definitely going through a “nugget” stage enjoyed them
