# Method:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add vegetable oil and rub the mixture between your fingers until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually add water while mixing until a smooth, firm dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
02 - Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and cook diced potatoes, peas, and carrots until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain and lightly mash the vegetables. In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds, then add finely chopped onion, ginger, and green chili. Sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder, then add the cooked vegetables. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until flavors meld. Fold in fresh cilantro and transfer to a plate to cool completely.
03 - Divide the rested dough into 6 equal balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut each oval in half to create two triangles. Form a cone by folding the triangle and wetting the overlapping edges with water to seal. Carefully fill each cone with approximately 2 tablespoons of cooled vegetable filling, then pinch the open edge closed to seal completely.
04 - Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly brush the assembled samosas with vegetable oil on all sides using a pastry brush. Arrange the samosas in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Air fry for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time, until golden brown and crispy on all surfaces.
05 - Combine fresh mint leaves, cilantro leaves, chopped green chili, and ginger piece in a blender. Add lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Blend until a smooth paste forms, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until reaching desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Transfer the hot air-fried samosas to a serving plate and serve immediately with mint chutney on the side for dipping.
