    I started making kachoris today but the shape wasn't coming well though it looks so simple. So I made samosas for the first time at home today, they came out small but were good.

    For the dough:
    Maida - 1 cup
    Sooji - 1/3 cup
    Baking powder - 1 pinch
    Oil - 2 tsp
    Salt - To taste
    Water - Accordingly

    Mix the above into a soft dough. Cover it with a wet cloth and keep aside for half an hour.

    For the filling:
    Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Vegetables - 1 1/2 cups
    Chopped onion - 2 Tbsp
    Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
    Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
    Turmeric powder - a pinch
    Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
    Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
    Kasuri Methi - 1/2 tsp
    Chaat masala - 1/2 tsp
    Salt - To taste
    Oil - 2 Tbsp

    Boil the vegetables (I used potato, carrot, peas, corn). Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin seeds to splutter. Add onion, ginger garlic paste and fry well. Add the vegetables now. Add the turmeric, chilli, coriander and garam masala powders and mix well. Let it cook for sometime. Then add kasuri methi, chaat masala and salt.

    For the green chutney:
    Coriander leaves - 1/2 cup
    Green chillies - 2
    Ginger - 1 inch
    Garlic pods - 2
    Roasted cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
    Salt - To taste

    Mix all the ingredients with little water.

    For the tamarind chutney:
    Tamarind paste - 1/4 cup
    Sugar - 2 tsp
    Roasted cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
    Roasted peppercorns - 1/4 tsp
    Salt - To taste

    Mix all the ingredients with little water.

    Take a small ball of dough, roll it and cut into half. Fold one half into a triangle and stuff the filling. Seal the edges using wet fingers. Fry on medium to high flame till brown. Serve hot with the chutneys. :)

    Hi all, Eid Mubarak, it was my first Eid away from family, but it went well. I tried my best to recreate the shopping, mehendi, clothes, food etc. :)

    Belated Eid Mubarak to you too, Freespirit and 6teenpearls. Nice to know that you tried to recreate Eid here. That is what I have done year after year. I make sheer khurma and Biryani. Love to apply mehendi. It feels like Eid at home. Wear new clothes give iddi to kids. I make and receive lots of phone calls.
