A samosa, a stuffed pastry, is a common snack in every Indian household. It generally consists of a fried triangular- or tetrahedron-shaped pastry shell with a savory filling of spiced potatoes, onion, peas, coriander, and sometimes fresh paneer (cottage chese).

  • Maida ( flour) - 2cups
  • Warm oil - 1/2 cup
  • Ajwain - 1/2 tsp
  • Warm water if required to knead
  • Salt to taste.

  • Jerra powder - 1 tsp
  • Mustard - 1tsp
  • Garam masala -1tsp
  • Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
  • Fennel seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste

Method:

  • First take oil in a kadai or a big pan and put mustad seed.
  • After this add peas and fry for sometime.
  • Then add ginger garlic paste, turmeric and fry again for 2 seconds and thenadd all the above listed powder.
  • After this add the potatoes and fry very nicely till it becomes dry.
  • At last add coriander leaves for the flavour and keep it aside.
  • To make the samosa crust we first take maida and mix salt, ajwain and warm oil together and make a doug.
  • A tip just wet your hand with warm water to make the dough soft.
  • Now take a big ball of the dough and roll it very thickly and cut it into half.
  • Now make a cone of it and put the above filling into it and close it with the help of water.
  • Repeat the same thing with the other half also and make a few of them.
  • Now heat the oil in a kadai to fry the samosa.(Remember that u should fry the samosa in a low flame.)
  • Serve it hot with either garlic or simple green chutney.
