Easy Whole Wheat Cauliflower Samosa Recipes

EASY WHOLE WHEAT CAULIFLOWER SAMOSA

Steps:

• Filling:.
• Heat oil. Add fennel, mustard and ginger. When mustard crackles, add garam masala, chili powder and asafetida. Stir briefly. Add cauliflower and salt and stir. Cook for 10 minutes or so. Can add few tbsp of water or so if cauliflower is sticking. Add peas and cook for a further 10 minutes or so. Again a bit of water may be needed. Let the filling cool to room temperature. Then mix in crumbled feta.
• Pastry.
• Mix salt and flours together.
• Rub ghee into flour till it looks like breadcrumbs. Add water with one hand gradually, while mixing in with other hand. Add enough water to make it smooth and elastic like roti dough. Knead dough well, for 5 minutes or so.
• Sprinkle a few drops of water on the dough and cover with a cloth to prevent it from drying out while rolling the circles. Divide dough into 10 circles. Roll circles out into a 2mm thick circles.
• Cut each circle into two semi circles. Fold each semi circle into half to make a cone, wet the seam of the cone with water and press well. Fill the cones with COOLED filling leaving at least 1 cm space on top of the cone. Wet and press like for previous seam, and then pleat the sealed seam or press with a fork. Deep fry samosa on MODERATE heat till a deep golden brown, turning 2 or 3 times in the oil. Drain, and enjoy!
• Cooks Tip: to Freeze Samosas, place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and flash freeze for an hour. Then place frozen samosas in Ziploc bags and keep in freezer. TO use, leave them to stand till room temperature, or defrost in a microwave, before frying.

CAULIFLOWER SAMOSAS WITH TAMARIND SAUCE (RAW)

Steps:

• Wrappers:In a high-speed blender, puree the coconut with the coconut water, cayenne, and salt until completely smooth. Using an offset spatula, spread the coconut very thin on Teflex-lined dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 115 F for 2 to 4 hours, or until the surface is dry. Carefully flip over and peel away the Teflex sheets. Dehydrate further on the screen only, just to dry the underside, 15 to 30 minutes longer. The wraps should be very thin, almost transparent, and very pliable.
• Carefully slide the wraps onto a flat cutting surface and cut into large rectangles, about 3 by 7 inches, and set aside.
• Filling:Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse a few times to chop into small pieces. It's okay if they are not entirely uniform in size - they add texture.
• In a high-speed blender, add the nuts, water, garam masala, Chunky Chat, and ginger and puree at high speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the cauliflower, peas, and macadamia cream to a shallow glass bowl or pan and stir to combine. Place the bowl in the dehydrator and dehydrate at 115 F for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower becomes somewhat tender and the cream thickens a bit.
• Toss the cilantro in with the cauliflower mixture just before filling the wraps.
• To make: Place a heaping tbs of cauliflower filling at one end of a coconut wrapper. Fold one corner over diagonally to meet the other side, to form a triangle. Fold the samosa over and continue folding like a flag. Wet the end of the wrapper slightly to seal.
• For Tamarind Sauce:Place the tamarind pulp, maple syrup, nama shoyu, and olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and add a pinch of salt if necessary. Place in a separate bowl and set aside. This sauce may be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days. It can also be frozen if you have leftovers or want to make it in advance.
• For Banana Tamarind Sauce: Puree the sauce ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. Transfer to a separate container and set aside.
• Serve with your favorite mango chutney!
