Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Samosa Wraps

Step 1: Boil Potatoes
Start by placing your peeled potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 10-13 minutes or until they’re fork-tender. Drain them and allow to cool slightly, so you can handle them easily. This creamy potato base will be the heart of your delicious Samosa Wraps.

Step 2: Mash Chickpeas
While your potatoes are boiling, drain and rinse the chickpeas in a bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash them until roughly broken, but still chunky. This adds a creamy texture to your filling. Set your chickpeas aside as they will blend beautifully with the other ingredients in your Samosa Wraps.

Step 3: Sauté Onions and Spices
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften and begin to turn translucent. Next, sprinkle in cumin and fennel seeds, continuing to sauté for another minute until fragrant. This will enhance the aromatic profile of your filling.

Step 4: Add Aromatics and Spices
Stir in minced garlic and ginger to the sautéed onions, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes aromatic. Then, incorporate your prepared spices—turmeric, garam masala, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder—cooking for another minute to allow the flavors to meld. This spice base will create a flavorful filling for your Samosa Wraps.

Step 5: Combine Potatoes and Chickpeas
Now it’s time to add the boiled, slightly cooled potatoes to the skillet, along with the mashed chickpeas. Using a fork, mash them together roughly, mixing until evenly combined but still slightly chunky. Fold in the peas and chopped cilantro, cooking briefly just until the peas are warmed through, then remove from heat.

Step 6: Prepare the Wraps
Take each tortilla and cut it in half. Place about 3-4 tablespoons of your flavorful filling onto the center of each half. Carefully fold the tortilla into a triangle, tucking the ends in to secure the filling. This shape not only looks delightful but also holds the delicious filling of your Samosa Wraps perfectly.

Step 7: Toast the Wraps
In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Once hot, add your filled wraps, toasting them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crisp. The toasty exterior adds a delightful crunch, contrasting beautifully with the savory filling inside your Samosa Wraps.

Step 8: Blend Chutney and Serve
While the wraps are toasting, combine your chutney ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with water if necessary. Serve your warm Samosa Wraps alongside the fresh chutney for dipping, allowing for a vibrant burst of flavor that perfectly complements these easy, vegan treats.
