Ayubowan! I warmly welcome you to my YouTube channel
Today's tutorial will be on how to make Samosa
First, let's see how to make the dough for samosa
We will need Plain Flour (500g)
Cumin (1tsp)
Salt (1tsp)
Ghee, melted (4tsp). If not, butter or coconut oil can be used as alternatives
We will also need Water, in room temperature, to mix the dough
Ghee is a crucial ingredient for this dish, mainly because of it's unique flavor
The dough needs to be fairly firm with less moisture
Add water once the ghee has mixed well
We used up to 300ml of water for the dough
Make sure to add water gradually, to avoid adding too much water
The dough is not too soft neither too firm
Keep it closed and let it rest for 30-40min
Meanwhile, let's prepare the filling for the samosa
Heat a wide pan
Add 2tsp of oil
Add onions
Garlic, ginger, curry leaves
Mix well
Cumin
Green chilli
Unroasted curry powder (1tsp)
Turmeric (1/2 tsp)
Chilli Flakes (add according to preferred spice level)
Green Peas
Mashed potato
Leave some chunks in the potatoes without mashing entirely
Turn down the heat and mix well
Salt
Add pepper if preferred
Finely chopped Coriander leaves
Let the filling cool down before moving onto the next step
Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape
Next we can cut off circles
Roll each circle into balls
Flatten the dough ball
Flatten even more using a roller
You can refrigerate these for later, but make sure to close well to avoid contact with moisture
You can freeze them if preferred, once again, seal them shut to avoid contact with moisture
Next we can fry these
Heat up a deep pan (medium heat) with oil
Too much heat will burn the samosas before the dough is fried well
Once the samosas are cooked just right, they will start to float
Take them out when golden brown
Frying/cooking time is approximately 5mins
