Samosas With Potatoes And Peas Recipes

POTATO AND PEA SAMOSAS

Steps:

• To make the pastry, add the oil to the flour with 100ml warm water and mix to form a dough. Knead briefly and leave to rest for 30 mins.
• Fry the onions, garlic, ginger and chilli together in 2 tbsp oil for 1 min, then add the potatoes. Cook over a low heat, stirring often, until the potatoes are cooked through - add a little water if they begin to stick. Add the peas or beans and cook until tender, then stir in the coriander, season well and leave to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Divide the dough into 8 balls. One by one, roll each ball into a thin circle, then halve to make 2 semi-circles. Use your finger to brush a little water along the straight edges. Hold one and bring the 2 corners together and, using your hand as a cup, seal along the straight edge to form into cones.
• Fill the cones with the potato mix and pinch the tops closed, sealing again with water. Brush with remaining oil on all sides. Put on baking sheet and bake for 20 mins or until the pastry is crisp. Serve with mango chutney.

SAMOSAS WITH POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Dough:Whisk together flour, salt, and cumin. Work in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/3 cup water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a clean surface; knead until smooth, about 4 minutes. Cover with a bowl. Let rest 1 hour. (Dough can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to overnight.)
• Filling:In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with 2 inches water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in 1/4 cup oil. Add cumin, mustard, and coriander; cook until fragrant and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add onion, ginger, chile, and garlic. Season with 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and mashing with the back of a fork, until the texture of very chunky mashed potatoes. Add lemon juice, cilantro, and peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Once dough is rested, roll into a log about 10 inches long. Cut into 10 pieces (each about 1 1/2 ounces). Cover with plastic wrap. Working with one piece at a time on an unfloured surface, roll out to a 6-inch circle. Cut circle in half to create two half-moon shapes. Shape each half-moon into a cone by folding it in half and pinching the straight sides together. Fill each cone with heaping 2 tablespoons filling, then pinch closed to create a stuffed triangle. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• In a deep, heavy pot, heat remaining 2 quarts oil (it should come 2 inches up sides of pot) to 350 degrees. Working in batches so as not to crowd pot, fry samosas, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 4 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to keep oil temperature between 340 and 360 degrees. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Serve with chutneys, if desired.

SPICED POTATO-STUFFED PASTRIES: SAMOSAS

Steps:

• To make the dough: Mix the salt and flour in a medium bowl or a food processor. With a pastry blender, incorporate the butter until crumbs have formed. Add the water a few tablespoons at a time, until you can form a ball. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Let it rest for about 15 minutes more. You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it.
• To make the filling: Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
• If using fresh carrots, chop and simmer in water, to cover, in a small pot. Add the corn and peas to barely cook. Set aside to cool.
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until golden. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garam masala, turmeric, chile powder, and salt and cook 2 minutes more.
• In a bowl combine the mashed potatoes, the onion and spice mixture, carrots, peas, corn, lemon juice, and chopped coriander. Mix well.
• To assemble the samosas: Divide the dough into 9 equal size balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 5-inch circle. Cut each circle in half.
• Brush the straightedge side with a little water, fold it in half, and align the two straight sides so they overlap to form a cone shape. Squeeze the edges together to make a tight seal. Place approximately 1 generous tablespoon of filling inside each cone, leaving the top edge clean. Moisten the inside top rim of the cone and press the edges together to make another tight seal. Place the samosas on a tray until ready to fry. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• Heat approximately 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan. Fry several samosas at a time, being careful not to crowd them. When 1 side turns golden brown, flip it over to brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with chutney.

SAMOSAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, ghee, salt and caraway seeds until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Gradually stir in enough water to form a firm dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 1 hour., Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until just tender, 8-10 minutes; drain. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes start to cling to the skillet, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas, ginger, garam masala, cumin seeds and salt; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in optional ingredients as desired. Set aside., Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll 1 piece of dough into a 10x6-in. oval. Cut dough in half. Moisten straight edge with water. Bring 1 corner of half moon up to meet the other corner of the half moon, forming a cone. Pinch seam to seal. Fill with 3-4 tablespoons potato mixture. Moisten curved edge of dough with water; fold over top of filling and and press seam to seal. Gently press the bottom of the samosa to flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining dough and filling., Preheat air fryer to 350°. Brush the samosas with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. In batches, arrange in a single layer without touching in the air-fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
