A family favourite! These tasty treats are perfect finger food for any occasion.
Ingredients
200g plain flour
salt
sunflower/vegetable/rapeseed oil
chilli powder
2 red onions, roughly chopped
1 tsp black mustard seeds
2 large potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tsp chaat masala
½ tsp turmeric powder
small handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
Method
– Add the flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of chilli powder, and 2 tbsp of oil to a large bowl. Mix it to form a breadcrumb consistency. Slowly add a little bit of water at a time until you have a nice soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
– Add the potatoes to a small pan. Cover them in water and bring them to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes until soft. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
– Add 1 tbsp of oil to a hot pan. Add the black mustard seeds and red onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
– Add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp chilli powder, chaat masala, and turmeric powder.
– Roughly mash the boiled potatoes and add to the onions along with the coriander. Mix well. Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
– Divide the dough into 12 even portions. Roll them into balls and place them in a bowl.
– Place one ball onto the counter and roll it into a flat oval with your rolling pin. Make sure the rest of the balls are covered when you’re not using them so they don’t dry out.
– Cut the oval in half and form it into a cone shape. Use your fingers to seal the straight edges together with some water. Then, spoon some potato mixture into the cone and seal the other edge with your fingers and some water. On the side with no line, fold the bottom edge onto itself and seal to form a classic samosa shape.
– Repeat the process with the other half of the oval and the rest of the dough portions.
– Add plenty of oil to a large hot pan. Once it is hot, gently drop a samosa at a time into the oil. Fry until golden all around.
– Once cooked, remove them from the pan and place them onto some kitchen roll to remove any excess oil.
Serve with some coriander and mint chutney or any condiments you like!
