I am here today for a quick write up on a stress free & heavenly starter called the Samosas.
Samosas have always been at the top of my list for the most popular picking. One bite into them & my appetite is stimulated. These yummy little bites also serve as an excellent snack but have been a requisite on our table often in the past. You can also serve them as an effortless nibble for picnics or to snack on during long journeys.
So dont hesitate to treat your family with these zingy & esculent savouries. Lets march on to the recipe immediately.
INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups All Purpose flour
1 tbsp Clarified butter/ Oil
1/2 tsp Salt
Water to knead the dough
For the filling:
3 Onions finely chopped
1 tbsp minced meat/minced chicken
A pinch garam masala powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
3-4 green chillies slit
A handful of Coriander leaves
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp ginger+garlic paste
2 tsp Oil
HOW TO MAKE:
For the filling:
1) In a pan, heat 2 tsp Oil, add the minced meat and the onions and fry them in this oil till the onions are translucent & soft.
2) Add the ginger + garlic paste, the spice powders and the green chillies and allow to fry for a minute.
3) Add the coriander leaves and switch off the stove and allow this filling mixture to cool.
For the Samosas:
1) Knead the dough with some water as required. Do not make the dough very soft by over kneading. Use water as required only.
2) Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes.
3) Make 8-10 small balls in this dough. Roll out small parathas/rotis in this.
4) Take one paratha at a time, place on a flat board/surface. Pass a wet hand on the rounded outline of this paratha and also in the form of a vertical line in the centre of the paratha as if you are making a semi circle in it.
5) Place little filling on either side of the wetted line. Take the top part of the paratha and close it over the filling. It should resemble a semi circle now and the filling is placed inside.
6) Take a cutter and cut this semi circle in the centre. Now you will have 2 samosas. Use the cutter to make a design on the edges also.
7) Repeat the same process for each of the paratha prepared.
8) Heat oil in a wok, deep fry the samosas till light golden brown.
9) Serve hot with Ketchup.
RATING NOTES:
** You can also buy the samosa wrappers available in stores and shape the samosas.
** Make any filling you desire. All work well with samosas.
