Method
Filling
- Heat 1 tbsp. clarified butter (ghee) in a round bottom pan. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds and ginger
chilli paste.
- Add chopped potatoes.
- Add green peas and mix well. Mash the mixture a little bit.
- Add coriander leaves, garam masala, raw mango powder and chaat masala. Mix it well. Add salt as per
taste.
- Turn off the flame and keep the filling aside for cooling.
Covering
- Heat ghee in a round bottom pan.
- In a bowl, add a cup of plain flour. Add semolina, salt and 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of hot ghee.
- Add some water in the flour making a well.
- Mix the flour well and knead a medium consistency dough. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
Samosa
- With the help of a rolling pin and a rolling board or any other flat surface, roll out thin, round rotis out of
the small pieces of the dough.
- Cut the roti into half and fold the semi-circles making a cone. Fill up the cones with the mixture.
- Make sure you keep some space at the top of the cone so that the edges of the cone can stick properly.
- Apply a little bit of water to the edges and stick them well.
- At the joint, form a pleat making a fold. The samosas are ready to fry.
- Samosas need to be double fried in order to get the crunchiness. Half fry them first and then fry them
again.
