Samosa

Whenever we pass through Sri Ram Sweets near Jayadeva in Bangalore, we stop by to get some samosas and jalebi!! Hot Samosas are always on the menu when its a rainy day.

Ingredients

For the Chutney

Coriander Leaves - a handful

Tamarind - an inch

Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp

Dates - 4

Green Chili - 1

Salt to taste

For the filling

Boiled Potato - 1

Boiled Carrot - 1

Onion - 1

Peas - a handful

Corn - a handful

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

For the outer cover

All Purpose Flour - 1 cup

Salt - a pinch

Water for the dough

Oil for deep frying

Method

Knead flour, salt with very little water into a smooth dough. Coat it with a tbsp of oil and let it rest for half an hour.

Grind all the Ingredients for the chutney with very little water into a fine paste.

Heat oil, add cumin seeds and saute onions, peas, corn. Add mashed potato, carrot, paste and mix well. 

Make small balls of the dough and flatten to form a oval shape.

Cut into two parts. Take one part and dab some water on the cut end. Join the ends together to form a cone.

Place the filling inside the cone. Dab some water on the edges of the cone and bring them together or fold it over one another in the form of a samosa. I have made a step by step collage for the pictorial explanation of making the cone!!

Deep fry and serve hot. These dont require chutney's as I added the chutney to the filling itself.

Bon Appetit!!
