# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and rub the mixture between your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water while kneading to form a smooth, firm dough. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes.
02 - Boil potatoes, peas, and carrots in salted water until tender, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and lightly mash. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add cumin seeds, then sauté onion, ginger, and green chili until softened. Stir in ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. Add the mashed vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, fold in fresh cilantro, and allow the filling to cool completely.
03 - Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut each oval in half to create triangular pieces. Form a cone shape with each piece by bringing the straight edges together and wetting with water to seal securely. Fill each cone with approximately 2 tablespoons of vegetable filling. Pinch the open edge closed and seal with water if necessary.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly brush each samosa with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Arrange samosas in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Air fry for 15 to 18 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
05 - Combine fresh mint leaves, cilantro leaves, green chili, ginger, lemon juice, sugar, and salt in a blender. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water as needed. Blend until achieving a smooth paste consistency. Adjust seasoning and water content according to preference.
06 - Transfer samosas to a serving platter while hot. Serve alongside mint chutney for dipping.
