Steps:
- To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder, a good pinch of sea salt and the ajwain seeds (if using) in a large bowl.
- Use your fingers to rub in 120ml of oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 150ml of cold water, then bring it together with your hands into a rough dough, adding a splash more water, if needed.
- Place in a flour-dusted bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into rough 2.5cm chunks, then break the cauliflower into florets so they're roughly the same size.
- Add the potatoes to a large pan of boiling salted water and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender, adding the cauliflower after 3 minutes. Add the peas for the final minute, then drain.
- Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, then peel and finely grate the ginger. Deseed and finely chop the chilli.
- Drizzle a lug of oil into a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add the cumin and onion and cook for 8 minutes, or until softened but not coloured. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli, then fry for a further few minutes.
- Bash the fennel seeds to a fine powder and add to the pan along with the garam masala and ground coriander. Stir well.
- Stir the cooked veg into the pan and crush gently with a potato masher - don't overdo it: you want a fairly chunky mixture. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season to taste. Leave to cool, then pick, finely chop and stir in the coriander leaves.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Lightly grease a large baking tray with oil.
- On a flour-dusted surface, halve the dough and roll out each portion to about 3cm thick. Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out as many circles as you can, then roll into rounds, roughly ½cm thick and 18cm in diameter.
- Cut each round in half, then brush the straight edges with a little water. Roll into a cone shape, bringing the straight edges together and pressing lightly to seal.
- Spoon in the filling, brush the exposed dough with a little water, then fold over and press to seal. Place onto the prepared baking tray, then repeat with the remaining ingredients, keeping the samosas covered with a damp tea towel as you go.
- Brush the samosas with a little oil and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and piping hot through. Serve straightaway with mango chutney.

EASY BAKED INDIAN SAMOSAS
This has all the flavor and heartiness of a great samosa without the frying. Although this is an easier, healthier version of the fried samosa, it tastes very authentic. This recipe has the added advantage that you can make ahead and freeze uncooked samosas, simply skip the egg brushing, freeze until you're ready and cook at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, plain, or with chutney.

- Filling:.
- Boil potatoes uncovered in salted water until tender, then drain well and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan, toast fennel, cumin and coriander seeds for 2 minutes (until a fragrance is noticeable). Add oil, then onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until onion is translucent. Add garlic and ginger and sauté one minute more. Stir in spinach, peas and cooked potatoes, mashing lightly to combine and warm, then season to taste. Let filling cool.
- To assemble samosas, divide dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface,roll out 1 ball into a 6-inch circle. Cut circle in half. Fold 1 corner of semicircle up and over middle. Fold second corner over to make triangle, and pinch corners of triangle to seal (leave rounded side open). Hold triangle in your hand with open rounded side facing up and let dough fall open to make cone. Fill cone with approximately 2 tablespoons potato mixture, then pinch along rounded side to seal.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and chill samosas until ready to cook.
- Fill a pot with 2-inches of oil (make sure oil fills pot not more than halfway) and heat to 350°F With tongs, place samosas in oil, leaving an inch between them, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and cook other side until brown, then remove onto a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
- Samosas can be served warm or at room temperature with mango chutney.
- TIP: Alternately, the samosa can be brushed with an eggwash and baked at 375 °F on a parchment-lined baking tray for 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Prep the Vegetables: Dice the sweet potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions into small, uniform pieces. Smaller pieces cook more evenly and create a better texture in the samosas.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the spices and seasonings to your preference. Add more chili powder or cumin for a spicier kick, or increase the garam masala for a more aromatic flavor.
- Fold the Samosas: Samosas can be tricky to fold at first, but with practice, you'll get the hang of it. Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Baking Temperature: Bake the samosas at a high temperature (400°F) to ensure they become golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the samosas hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tamarind chutney, mint chutney, or raita. They also make a great addition to a lunchbox or party platter.
