    vegetable samosa

    vegetable samosa

    Preparation time: 1 hour
    Ingredients:


    • 4 Potatoes medium size
    • 1 Onion finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup green peas
    • 1 small piece ginger, grated
    • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
    • 1 garlic grated
    • 2 green chili (or to taste)
    • 10-15 dried pomegranate (anardana) seeds (optional)
    • 1/4 cup coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
    • 8-10 raisins/cashew nuts
    • 1.5 cup plain flour, bleached (maida)
    Spices:


    • 1/2 tsp garam masala (or to taste)
    • 1 tsp red chili powder salt to taste
    • 2 tsp Coriander seeds
    • oil to deep fry
    Preparation





    Filling Masala for Samosa: Roast or boil potatoes until tender. Mash the potatoes and add chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, peas, coriander, lime juice, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, cumin seeds, anardana, and raisins/cashew nuts. Mix well.

    Filling:
    1. Take flour in a bowl, add 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste), and water to make stiff dough. Make small smooth balls and roll each ball to about 4" circle. Roll it more on one side to 10" to give it an elliptical shape. Cut it into half to get two pieces of 4"x 5" size (approx.). This will produce true samosa shape.


    2. Dampen half the edge of 4" side of the piece. Hold both the corners of this side in your both the hands using thumb and a finger and bring damped portion beneath the undamped portion. Press and seal to give it a hollow cone shape.
    3. Fill the samosa masala into the cone and seal the remaining two sides (bring the longer side closer to the other side) by dampening with water, enclosing the masala completely. This side will form the base of the samosa. Your finished samosa should stand on this base. Fill all other pieces to form similar triangular shape samosa.
    4. In the final step these samosas can either be baked or deep fried.

    samosa dough

    hi tan
    here is tip for dough
    u can add hot or normal vegetable oil (2-3 table spoon) in it n required water
    (while some people use whole oil instead of water in making dough and in d end just dip their hand in warm water for smoothing dough )
    u can also add 2 table spoon rice flour or cornflour in it for crispiness of cover
    remember dough will take time for smoothing
    first make d dough ,cover it with cloth n keep aside for 30 min.
    n then again kneed it
    u can keep samosas in d fridge for some time before deep frying
    hope it will help
    try n enjoy......

    One more Kollu recipe. I tried this and it came out well.

    Ingredients:

    Kollu/horsegram 1cup
    raw rice 1/4 cup
    dry red chillies: 4 to 5
    hing powder 1/4 tsp
    ginger 1 1/2 inch piece
    curry leaves few
    Coriander leaves : about 2 tbsps chopped fine

    Oil for making the adais

    Method:
    Wash and soak the kollu and rice together for about 6 to 8 hours. Grind the soaked mixtures along with the chilles and ginger. The ground batter should be a fine rava texture. Add the hing powder, salt, curry leaves and coriander and mix well. Make adais the usual way. This adai will be on the thicker side.

    I used a non stick tava and could make the adais without any oil ( after first smearing the tava with a little oil ). If you want to make it crisp at the same time avoid using oil, use cooking spray instead. Serve with your choice of chutneys etc...

    You could also add keerai to make it more nutritous. Or make it like pesarattu with the onion and ginger filling to enhance the taste.
