SAMOSA LOVERS👇👇👇😋
samosa (/səˈmoʊsə/) or singara is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling, including ingredients such as spiced potatoes, onions, and peas. It may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region.[2][3][4] Samosas are often accompanied by chutney, and have origins in medieval times or earlier.[2] Samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the cuisines of South Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, East Africa and their diasporas.
Recipe makes 16 samosas.
Ingredients for the dough:
120g flour
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
A pinch of salt
Half teaspoon of spice (thyme or any other)
Warm water
Ingredients for the filling
2 medium Irish potatoes
2 handfuls of green peas
1 large carrot
200g minced beef/meat
2 cooking spoons of vegetable oil
Stock cubes
1 stalk of spring onion (cut into thin circles)
1 teaspoon of curry powder
Salt and ground pepper (to taste)
1 pinch of garlic powder (optional)
Feel free to customize the filling to your taste but the classic Indian Samosa must contain Irish potatoes and green peas.
How to make
Filling
Wash and peel the Irish potatoes and carrots. Dice into tiny bits, add green peas. Add a little salt and cook for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat once the get soft and set aside.
Slice onions in circles. Set aside.
Heat up vegetable oil in a small pot, add the onions, curry and garlic powder, and stir for a few seconds.
Add the minced meat and Stir-fry until it turns to a pale colour.
Add stock cubes, pepper and salt to taste.
Add the cooked vegetables and mix together on medium head for about 3 minutes.
Dough
Pour flour into a medium mixing bowl.
Add warm water, salt and vegetable oil. Mix until you have a smooth, stretchy dough.
Cover mixture with an airtight plastic wrap and leave to breathe for 15 minutes, then knead the dough to make it more stretchy.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3mm.
Cut the dough in circles. You can use the tip of a round glass bowl if you do not have a circular dough cutter.
Cut those circles in two equal halves and smudge water on the straight part of the Semi-circular dough. Don’t close it yet.
Put a spoonful of the filling into the dough. Repeat until all the dough is finished.
Heat up vegetable oil in medium heat.
Make sure the oil is not too hot for it. Fry until the colour changes to light brown.
Place the fried samosa on a paper towel to drain off excess oil. Credit to owner.
