Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 cups Golden Cloud Cake Wheat Flour
- 60ml Oil
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp salt
For the filling
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3-4 fresh curry leaves
- 1 tsp black mustard seeds
- 2 green chillies, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger and garlic paste
- ½ cup frozen mixed veg
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ¾ tsp chilli powder
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 500g potatoes, peeled and boiled until soft
- 4 Tbsp fresh coriander
- ½ tsp salt
- oil for frying
- 2 Tbsp cornflour mixed with one Tbsp cold water, for folding
Method
- Start with the dough. Add the golden cloud cake flour, cumin seeds, salt and oil to a medium sized mixing bowl and stir together.
- Make a well in the centre and gradually add the water while mixing.
- Bring the ingredients together to form a fairly stiff dough.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, move on to the filling. Place a bit of oil into a frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes until golden. Next add the the curry leaves and mustard seeds and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the ginger and garlic along with the mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add all of the spices in at once and gently fry until slightly toasted.
- Crumble in the cooked potatoes and stir through gently.
- Sprinkle over the fresh coriander and stir through.
- Season to taste with salt and remove mixture from the heat and allow to cool down to room temperature.
- Divide the dough into five equal balls. Roll each ball into a circle (about 2mm thick). Cut the circles in half to make 10 semicircles.
- With each semicircle, fold the cut edge together and seal with the cornflour mixture to make a cone shape with the dough.
- Fill each cone with approximately 1 tablespoon of filling. Seal the open edge with the cornflour mixture and fold up like an envelope.
- Heat up the oil to a medium heat in a deep frying pan.
- Gently fry each samosa in oil, turning occasionally, until the samosa is golden brown.
- Remove and strain on some kitchen towel. Serve with a mint and coriander chutney.
