Samosa

Samosa! Does this snack need any introduction? Originally one of Mumbai’s favourite roadside snacks, it is now so famous across the country that it is available in almost every bakery, restaurant and tea stall. While some enjoy it plain, others like to smash it and top it with sauces or make a chaat out of it. Have it the way you like it, but here is how to make the perfect, authentic Samosa. While it is possible to make quicker versions with readymade patty sheets, this recipe is about how to make it from scratch including the ajwain flavoured dough and the scrumptious potato stuffing!

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes 4 samosas

Ingredients

For The Dough
⅓ cup plain flour (maida)
1/2 tsp melted ghee
a pinch of carom seeds (ajwain)

3/4 cup boiled and peeled potato cubes
⅓ cup boiled green peas
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1 1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp dried mango powder (amchur)
1/4 tsp whole coriander (dhania) seeds

1 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)

Other Ingredients

For the dough

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and knead into a stiff dough using enough water. Cover the dough with a dish or a wet muslin cloth and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes.

For the stuffing

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the cumin seeds.
2. When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida and ginger-green chilli paste and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
3. Add the potatoes and green peas, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Mash lightly using the back of the spoon.
4. Add the garam masala, dry mango powder, coriander seeds and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
5. Add the coriander, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 1 minute, while stirring continuously.
6. Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions and keep aside.

How to proceed

1. Knead the dough well till smooth and elastic and divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
2. Roll out a portion of the dough into 150 mm. X 75 mm. (6" x 3") diameter oval.
3. Cut the oval horizontally into 2 equal portions using a knife.
4. Take a portion and join the edges to make a cone.
5. Stuff the cone with a portion of the stuffing and apply little water on the edges to seal it.
6. Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 3 more samosas.
7. Heat the oil in a kadhai and deep-fry the samosas on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on absorbent paper.
8. Serve hot with green chutney.
