What is a Samosa?

A samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling. The filling is typically made with potatoes, peas, and onions, but it can also include other ingredients such as meat, cheese, or vegetables. Samosas are often served with a dipping sauce, such as chutney or yogurt.

Ingredients for Samosas

To make samosas, you will need the following ingredients:

• For the dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
• For the filling:
  • 2 potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
• For frying:
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions for Making Samosas

To make samosas, follow these instructions:

1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Make the filling: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, or until the spices are fragrant. Add the potatoes, peas, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the filling is heated through.
3. Assemble the samosas: Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Crimp the edges to seal.
4. Fry the samosas: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F. Carefully drop the samosas into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain the samosas on paper towels.
5. Serve: Serve the samosas hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Making Samosas

• For a flakier dough, use cold water when making the dough.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
• To make the filling ahead of time, cook the filling and let it cool completely. Store the filling in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To fry the samosas, use a deep fryer or large saucepan with at least 3 inches of oil.
• Do not overcrowd the samosas in the oil. Fry the samosas in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
• Serve the samosas hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Samosa Variations

There are many different variations of samosas. Here are a few ideas:

• Vegetable samosas: Use a variety of vegetables in the filling, such as carrots, green beans, or corn.
• Meat samosas: Add cooked ground beef, lamb, or chicken to the filling.
• Cheese samosas: Add shredded cheese to the filling.
• Sweet samosas: Use a sweet filling, such as fruit or nuts.
