The Indian Punjabi Samosa is a heavenly snack that even the most uptight Brits and Canadians can't resist. It's the perfect street food, satisfying hunger pangs with its spiced potatoes and peas filling. The secret is in the spices - they add just the right amount of flavor to make your taste buds dance with joy. And let's not forget the chutney, oh how it enhances the flavor! Tamarind or mint, it's the perfect tangy complement to the samosa's crispy exterior and savory filling. You'll be addicted after just one bite.

Steps

1

Mix together flour and salt and add ghee. Rub the ghee with the flour till it resembles bread crumbs. Start by adding ½ cup water and knead it into a firm dough.The consistency of the dough should be stiff.
2

Heat oil in a pan. While the oil is heating, crush the coriander seeds, saunf roughly and add it to the pan. Fry the spices till aromatic but be careful not to burn them. Add ginger, garlic and green chilies and stir fry for a minute or two. Add the remaining spices, mashed boiled potatoes,peas and then give it one more good mix... s
Set aside the mixture to cool..
3

Take a lime sized bowl of dough, roll it between your palms till smooth and dust it with flour. Roll it out into a circle which is less than 1 mm thickness and about 4 inches in diameter. Cut the rolled dough in half. Pick up one half and brush it with a little water along the straight edge of the dough...
4

Now take one edge of the straight side, and place it on the other edge of the straight side in such a way that the dough forms into a cone. Pinch the corner of the cone so that its sealed. Place a tablespoon and a half of the filling in the cone, making sure to fill it only ¾th of the way. Brush the inside of the unfilled dough with a little water and seal it by pinching the edge together. Repeat till all the dough is used up. Place the samosas on a greased tray..
5

Heat oil in a pan. Add the samosas to the oil making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and reduce the flame to a simmer. Fry the samosas on a low flame till golden brown on both side. It's important to fry them on a low flame, or the pastry would be raw from the inside and golden brown on the outside. They take 15-20 minutes to fry.
6

Take them out on a plate lined with paper to absorb any extra oil and serve them immediately with ketchup, coriander chutney or tamarind chutney.Enjoy
