HOW TO MAKE MINI SAMOSA

Take refined flour in a bowl and add salt and oil to it. Mix well and knead the stiff and smooth dough like Roti dough by adding water, using around 1/2 cup of water to knead this flour quantity). Cover and keep aside the dough for 20 minutes to set

Prepare Stuffing:

Boil the potatoes, peel them, and mash them finely. Heat 2 tsp oil in a Pan. Now add Asafoetida, cumin seed, mustard seed ginger, and green chilli. After that, add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, mango powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix all the ingredients well, add the finely mashed potatoes, mix well, turn off the stove, and then add some green coriander as well.

Stuffing is ready, take it out in a plate and allow it to cool down.

Grease your hands with oil and knead the dough again. Make small lumps from the dough. Take one dough ball and roll it out flat like a Roti or Chapatti. Divide the rolled Roti into two equal halves. Lift one part and fold it, giving it a cone shape. Stick the edges using some water. 

Stuff the cone with potato stuffing. Give a plate at the back of the samosa and stick the edges using some water. Place the samosa on a plate in the correct position. When the oil is medium hot, fry Samosas for 10-12 minutes until they turn golden brown. Then, take out the fried samosas and place them over a plate with tissue paper. Similarly, fry all samosas. Samosas are ready. Serve these samosas with green coriander chutney, sweet tamarind chutney or tomato sauce.

Suggestions:

  • Add oil in refined flour before kneading it; samosa tastes tastier. 
  • The dough should be smooth, like Roti dough
  • While making the cone and sticking the edges, use water to stick it well.
