Here is a recipe for making samosas:
Ingredients:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ajwain seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons of oil
1/4 to 1/3 cup of water
2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
1/2 cup of peas
1/4 cup of finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon of garam masala
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, and ajwain seeds. Mix well.
Add the oil to the mixture and mix until it resembles bread crumbs.
Gradually add the water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside for 30 minutes.
In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion and ginger and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the peas, mashed potatoes, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
Cut each circle in half and make a cone by joining the straight edge of the half-circle.
Fill the cone with the potato mixture, leaving some space at the top.
Moisten the edges of the cone with water and press them together to seal.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Gently drop the samosas into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Your delicious samosas are ready to serve! Enjoy them with your favorite chutney or sauce.
