How to make Samosa

METHOD:

Mix the flour, salt, carom/cumin seeds, oil/ghee/shortening until the dough resembles coarse sands. The idea here is to coat each and every grain of flour with oil.
Now sprinkle the water slowly and form soft but really stiff dough. Even after using up 1/2 a cup of water the dough will seem dry, don’t get tempted to add more water.
Knead the dough well for about 5 mins. It will be very stiff and a little difficult to work with. Don’t worry; it’s totally worth the effort.
Tip: The amount of water in the dough is very important, the lesser the better. If there is too much water in the dough, you will end up with too many bubbles on your fried samosas, which don’t look pretty at all!
Use just enough water to bring the flour together. After that knead for 5 mins, sprinkling some water only when required.
Keep the dough covered with plastic wrap or a moist towel and let it rest for at least an hour, and up to 2 hours.

To make the stuffing:
====================
Heat oil in a skillet and add the cumin seeds, saute for 30 seconds.
Add ginger, garlic and minced green chillies and fry for about a minute, on medium heat.
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and saute for 30 secs.
Add in the boiled potatoes, boiled peas and salt to taste. Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle the garam masala, chat masala (if using) and kasuri methi (if using) on top and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Finish with the chopped cilantro and mint (if using). Keep aside and cool to room temperature.

To make Samosa Shells:
=======================

Make large lemon sized balls of the dough. It will be difficult to make a perfectly rounded ball, but don’t worry.
Dust the dough with flour and roll it out thin, about 1/8 inch in thickness, into an ellipse as shown here. Don’t roll the sheets too thin, as it may be difficult to handle it afterwards and it may tear.
Using a knife cut the ellipse to make two equal portions. Now place one of these sheets on the working board or on your hand with the circular portion facing you.
Wet the edges and make a cone
Now fill the cone with the stuffing and press it slightly. Seal the cone
Deep fry the samosa till they turn golden all over. Please note that the oil should not be too hot and fry them on medium high heat.
Serve with tamarind chutney and green chutney.
