The recipe that I would like to share is one of the most important foods of my life. I have a lot of memories with it and when I moved here I had nowhere to go buy those so I had to learn how to make them. The recipe is the potato filled samosa with cilantro chatni. The recipe is very simple.

Ingredients

For the dough

¾ teaspoon of salt

2 ¼ cup of flour

6 tablespoon of butter

9 tablespoon of hot water.

For the filling:

1 ½ pounds potatoes

1 cup fresh peas

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

1 medium onion, chopped

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1 ½ teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon garm masala( that’s the spice blend)

½ teaspoon red chili

½ teaspoon turmeric

1 ½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ teaspoon lemon juice

Vegetable oil

For the dipping sauce

Cilantro and yogurt and vegetable oil.

directions :

The first step will be to make the dough. Mix salt and flour in the bowl or the food processor. With the pastry blender, incorporate the butter until crumbs are formed. Add a little water to make the dough soft. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

Then for the filling first boil the potatoes and then mash then not too much.

Heat the oil in the pan and add all of the masala/ spices in it. Then add the mashed potatoes.

After sometime when the mixture is ready to add the peas and chopped cilantro.

When everything is added leave the mixture to cool down.

Then to assemble the samosa. Make seven or eight balls of the dough and roll all of them one by one.

To roll the ball you will have to use the flat surface,  And the circle should be 5 inches.

After this cut each circle in half.

Brush each side with little water and then make a cone but overlapping each side. When it is formed in the cone shape add the filling into it.

After filling tightly seal the end by brushing a little more hot water. Repeat this process with each samosa and set them aside until the oil is ready.

Heat 3 inches oil in the pan and start frying them. When they turn brown that means they are done.

For the chutney chop the cilantro and add yogurt and water. Mix all three things and the Hari chutney is ready.
