Samosa
-
-
Ingredient
 1 C white flour
- 1/2 C whole wheat flour
- clarified butter (ghee) for frying
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 T ginger, very finely chopped
- 1 C ground meat
- 2 T peas
- 1 t freshly ground coriander powder
- 1 t freshly ground cumin
- 1/2 t garam masala
- 1 T fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 large potato, boiled, peeled and mashed
- 2 t lemon juice
- salt to taste
Sieve the flour with a pinch of salt. Work in 2 T of the
butter, then add enough water (about 3 T) to make a smooth dough.
Knead for a few minutes, cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
- Fry the onions in 2 T butter. Next, stir in the ginger, ground
meat, peas, spices, and salt to taste. Fry for two minutes. Add
the potato and lemon juice, and fry for a few minutes more. Cool
this mixture.
- Meanwhile, knead the dough again, divide it into small balls,
and roll each one out until it is quite thin. Cut the pieces in
half and lay one part on top of the other. Press lightly, then
roll the pieces into very thin semicircles. Put a portion of the
filling on one half of each pastry piece, moisten the edges with
water, and fold the other half over. Press the edges together well
with a fork, then deep fry in butter until crisp and golden. Serve
warm, with mint chutney or lemon pickle.
