Hi there, Ameera here!
Have you ever tried samosas before? If you have, then you know how utterly and completely tasty and satisfying they are, so gosh darned good! Mom had never had them before, so I was all about creating a WFPB samosa that would knock her socks off.
They aren’t difficult to make, I just needed a really great vehicle to wrap them in. Traditional samosas are deep fried, so I needed something that would represent the texture of deep frying without actually being deep fried.
Let me introduce you to the delicious…
Siete Almond Flour Tortillas
Siete Almond Flour tortillas are perfect for this recipe because they are light, flakey, and tender. When baked, they become crispy and have a “baked good” type of quality to them, which makes them excellent for both sweet and savory dishes.
It’s like a delicious sheet of pastry that is Whole Food Plant Based complaint. They are so versatile for all kinds of dishes because they have a neutral pastry dough like flavor. We are absolutely in love them. We always have them in our freezer.
If you can’t find Siete Almond Flour Tortillas, you can use corn tortillas instead. Keep in mind that the flavors will be slightly different with the corn flavoring shining through.
Finding Siete
You can typically find Siete Almond Flour Tortillas in most health food stores in either the refrigerator or freezer section. Our local Earth Fare carries them in their refrigerator section.
You can order them online from the Siete company or from Amazon, but I believe you might be required to order a minimum of 3 packages, which can get quite pricey as they have to ship them in a refrigerated container.
Next time you take a trip out of town, find a store that carries them and take an ice cooler with you for keeping until you get home. Trust me they are totally worth it. Additionally, this is not a sponsored ad, we just love Siete Almond Wraps that much that we want you to enjoy them too!

Samosa Heaven
When Mom and I were in CT visiting Chris and Katie, we tested this recipe on them and they loved them! Chris and Katie both enjoyed them with our Sweet and Sour Sauce. Chris thought the samosas were “spot on” and declared them exceptionally delicious! YAYYYY!!!
Make sure you serve them up with a great dipping sauce. We loved coupling these tasty samosas with our warm Sweet and Sour Sauce, so much YUMMM!!!
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Tangy vinegar, sweet maple syrup, and aromatic spices come together to create this delicious sauce. It’s a thin dressing, which coats the samosas perfectly with just the right amount of saucy goodness.
But a heads up, while cooking this sauce the vinegar does create quite a robust vinegar smell. You may want to open some windows as Chris suggests, but I honestly didn’t think that was necessary. LOL However, once the sauce is all cooked and combined, you won’t be disappointed with these tasty samosa and sauce duo – YUM!
I’ll let Mom tell you more.

Hi! Robin here.
As Monkey mentioned, I had never had samosas before. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but when Monkey served these puppies up with a deliciously warm sweet and sour sauce, I was in comfort food heaven! Now I know what all the fuss is about! I totally get it!
WOW, so tasty and delicious; I totally loved them! We made a double batch for Chris and Katie as we knew they would enjoy them! Chris ate the leftover samosas for breakfast the next day! LOL
Don’t forget to try them in a tasty Samosa Salad with our Vegan Curry Dressing –> YUMMY!
If you try these tasty samosas, we would love to know if you enjoy it as much as we do! Please leave us a review! Post a picture on Facebook or Instagram and tag us! We would love to hear from you.

Ingredients
Skillet Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups cooked, peeled Russet potatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 cup grated sweet potato (about 1 small sweet potato)
- 1 – [ 15 oz. can ] chickpeas (drained and rinsed if from can)
- ¾ cup red onions, fine dice
- 1 Tablespoon finely diced, seeded jalapeno pepper
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
Herb/Spice Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon curry powder *
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Other Ingredients:
- ¾ cup frozen peas
- Almond flour tortillas (or tortillas of choice) *
Other Optional Ingredients
- Chopped cilantro
Sweet and Sour Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 Tablespoons rice vinegar

- ½ teaspoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium tamari *
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Make the Sweet and Sour Sauce, place all the Sweet and Sour Sauce ingredients into a small saucepan, bring heat to a boil, whisking constantly until the mixture slightly thickens, lower to a simmer. Simmer for a few minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to sit until ready to use.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- Place the Herb/Spice Ingredients in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
- Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into small half-inch cubes, then boil or steam them (we boiled them in a small saucepan covered with water, tiny sprinkle of sea salt, for about 10 minutes) until just until fork tender. Do not overcook the potatoes. Drain, then set aside to slightly cool.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then slightly mash them. You should have a variety of chickpeas, some mashed, some lightly mashed, and some whole, set aside.
- In a large ceramic/enamel-lined large skillet, add the finely chopped red onion, grated sweet potato, and jalapeno pepper; sauté over medium heat until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of water if the veggies start to stick and/or to prevent burning.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds, add the Herb/Spice Mix and sauté to release their fragrance, about one minute. Then add the boiled/steamed cubed potatoes, mashed chickpeas and the peas. Gently stir, flip and fold the mixture until everything is heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Test the flavors, add more spices, if necessary, to achieve the level of flavor you desire. Slightly mash the mixture, but make sure you still have some texture remaining. In other words, do not create mashed potatoes.
- Take a tortilla and lay it flat, place about 1/3 cup of the potato/bean mixture on one end and roll it up into a log. Place it on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat and continue until you have used up all the mixture.
- Place in a preheated 375 F oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then switch to high-broil for a few minutes to lightly brown the samosas. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn.
- Serve immediately with Sweet & Sour Sauce.
Notes
*Curry Powder: We love Penzeys The Now Currypowder. Please feel free to use your favorite curry powder.
*Almond Flour Tortilla: We used Siete Almond Flour Tortillas. They are delicious and have the perfect texture for these samosas. You can use any WFPB compliant tortilla. We highly recommend using Siete Almond Flour Tortillas as they create a beautiful, almost pastry-like exterior when baked. We are including a link to Siete Family Foods Store Locator. Click HERE for the Store Locator.
*Tamari: We used San J Tamari Soy Sauce, Gluten Free, Reduced Sodium. You can substitute the tamari with reduced sodium soy sauce, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or Braggs Coconut Liquid Aminos.
*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
*Serving: Makes 10 samosa rolls
*Storage: Refrigerate and use within 5 days.

These samosa rolls are delicious! The sweet and sour sauce is amazing, too. I doubled the recipe, thinking that we would have plenty of leftovers, but there were hardly any left because my family devoured them. Thanks!!
Hi there Courtney 🙂
Yaaayyy!!! We are so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed these Samosa Rolls and Sweet and Sour Sauce! We are sorry you didn’t have any leftovers, that happens here too! But glad that your family devoured them and enjoyed them! Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and taking the time to write!
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
This is the second time I’ve made these. They are SO good!!! I have to add a bit more water, and I used flour tortillas (was what I had). I cook them in the air fryer, then put ‘em in a bag and freeze. They reheat beautifully! I used to get the samosas from TJs, but they’re way too oily.
Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Hi there Dianne 🙂
Woo hoo!!! We are so thrilled that you are enjoying this recipe! We appreciate you sharing your tips and methods with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to write and for your awesome feedback. We truly appreciate it!
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
How long did you cook them in the air fryer and at what temp?
I’m making these for Thanksgiving this year! Can’t wait. Thank you.
Hi there Mandy 🙂
Woo hoo!!! We are so thrilled you’ll be giving this recipe a try for Thanksgiving. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Unfortunately I am allergic to almonds, so I cannot try the tortillas you suggest. Would corn tortillas work? I am trying to be gluten free as well.
Hi there Sarah 🙂
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We have had readers tell us that they have enjoyed this recipe with corn tortillas. Keep in mind, the corn tortillas do add an additional flavor component to this dish that is not typically associated with Indian-style samosas.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Theses were outstanding delicious.
Hi there Jane 🙂
Wooot! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed these samosas! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for taking the time to write.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
The sauce was the finishing touch! Absolutely scrumptious.
Hi there Diane 🙂
Yaaay!!! We are so thrilled you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and for taking the time to write.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
We made a double batch of these for Thanksgiving to I intentionally have leftovers and froze them in packs of six. I’m re-heating the last batch of them tonight for a quick dinner! They were amazing the first time and each subsequent time we’ve had them since thanksgiving! I’ve shared the recipe with many folks giving you both all the praise. Love these so much. The sauce was awesome too!
They were a big hit with my non- vegan family members as well and that’s saying something.
Hi there Mandy 🙂
Yaaaay! We are so thrilled that you are enjoying this recipe and it was a big hit with your non-vegan family – woot! Thank you so much for sharing that you’ve had success freezing these samosas – so good to know! Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and for taking the time to write.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
This is officially our favourite dinner right now…and has been ever since I found the recipe a few months ago. Thank you! We’re in Canada and use Silver Hills sprouted wheat wraps which work perfectly (I can’t do the almonds). Thank you for such a delicious creation!
Hi there Sarah 🙂
Yaaaay!!! We are so thrilled to hear this recipe is your favorite dinner right now! We appreciate you sharing your awesome feedback and for taking the time to write.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Fantastic! I wouldn’t have thought to put the filling into a wrap. Genius! Love this flavour profile. And that sauce really makes it!
Enjoyed two nights in a row!
Hi there Sandra 🙂
Awesome!!! We are SUPER excited that you enjoyed this recipe an sauce combo. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic feedback with us! *hugs*
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Hello, this looks and sounds amazing. I was curious if you were using the white sweet potato VS. what some people call sweet potatoes or yams. Also, do you have a recipe for a samosa salad. The picture looks so delicious but I haven’t been able to find anything in way of a recipe?
Can’t wait to try these!
Hi there April, 🙂
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We used the typical orange “sweet potatoes” that are identified as “Sweet Potatoes” in most grocery stores. They are more than likely Yams. I hope this helps.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Can these be made ahead of time, like the day before and then cooked?
Hi there Trish 🙂
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. Yes, they can be made ahead of time.
-Ameera and Robin 🙂
Hi,
Thank you for sharing a delicious recipe.
Can we freeze these before or after baking?
Thank you
Hey there Asia 🙂
Thank you for your question. We recommend freezing after they are baked.
-Ameera and Robin
I make these every month and they are devoured! I think it is my favorite recipe! I add more spices just because I love spice but otherwise da bomb!
Hi there Cate,
YAYYYY!!! We are so happy that you are enjoying this recipe and that it is a favorite! Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a great review.
-Ameera and Robin
I just made these samosa rolls today for lunch and they are really delicious! The almond tortillas have a great consistency which reminded me of fortune cookies. Although this is a pretty labor intensive recipe, it was definitely worth the time and effort!
Hi there Linda,
YAYYYY!!! We are so happy that you enjoyed this recipe! We appreciate you taking time to leave us an awesome review.
-Ameera and Robin
Could you.use egg roll wrappers.
Hi there Angela,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us. We apologize for the late response. We have not personally tried egg roll wrappers, but we have had readers let us know that they have made this recipe using egg roll wrappers and it worked really well.
-Ameera and Robin
What size tortillas do you use for this recipe?
Hi there Laurie,
Thank you for your question. The Siete Almond Flour Tortillas are 6 inches.
