To make the Samosas:
- 18
Roll the dough using a lightly floured rolling pin; cut it half. Spoon a generous 1-2 tablespoons filling in the center of a half-circle; lightly moisten the dough edges with water or flour paste, using your finger. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle, and then continue to fold up the strip in triangles, like you would a flag. Continue with remaining dough. Set samosas on tray.
- 19
In a large sauce pan, pour vegetable oil, until it is at least 3 inches, and place on medium heat or until oil is 350 degrees.
- 20
When ready, gently place a few samosas at a time into the saucepan.
- 21
Fry for a few minutes until the bottom side is light brown.
- 22
Turn over and fry for a few more minutes until the other side is light brown.
- 23
If baking, place on a baking sheet and brush with canola oil. Then bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes or more until golden brown, turning once.
- 24
Serve warm or at room temperature with ranch dressing, raita, (mango) chutney, or tamarind sauce.
