Samosa

Samosa is the most versatile street food all around the world as it has a lot of variety in taste. Culturally it is widely accepted due to its diversity. Most commonly it is made up of potatoes stuffing but you can stuff it with your favorite vegetable, chicken, beef or meat.
Though Samosa can be eaten solely or combined with any lunch, the later adds a lot of taste to your such as when combined with Dahi-Bara, Channa-Chaat, Salsa, Raitas etc.

Samosa-Chaat is supposed to be most demanding street food in South Asian countries. Its aroma while frying gives lots of mouth watering temptation and you couldn't resist yourself to get and eat it immediately.
 
Samosa is strongly associated with the rainy season. There are many sauces (Chutnies) which compliment Samosas and bring it a lot of change in taste. It can be tomato ketchup, coriander or mint chutney, yogurt raita, tamarind sweet sauce, apricot chutney and so many as per your taste.

Now, lets start our recipe :
Ingredients :

• 4 cup all purpose flour, 
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder, 
• 2 teaspoon carom seeds, 
• salt as required, 2 cup peas, 
• 2 inch ginger, 
• 2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 
• black pepper as required, 
• 1 cup chopped coriander leaves, 
• 2 cup refined oil, 
• 2 teaspoon coriander powder, 
• 4 cup all purpose flour,
•  4 tablespoon ghee, 
• 4 boiled potato, 
• 2 green chilli, 
• 5 cloves garlic, 
• 2 teaspoon red chilli powder, 
• 2 teaspoon dry mango powder, 
• 1 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions :
First of all, to prepare the stuffing for samosa, place a pan on medium flame and pour oil. Once heated, put cumin seeds and once the seeds start changing colour, immediately add garlic, ginger and green chili paste and salt according to your taste.
Then, combine dry mango powder, coriander powder, coriander leaves, garam masala along with turmeric and red chili powder. Keep stirring the mixture the whole while. Next, add boiled potato and stir yet again. With the help of the back of a spoon, mash the entire mixture altogether.
Now to prepare the dough, take a large bowl and combine all-purpose flour along with cumin seeds, salt and black pepper according to your taste. Then, add ghee and start kneading. Make sure the dough turns out to be somewhat firm in its texture. Cover the dough with a muslin cloth and keep aside for about half an hour.

Once done, roll out few small-sized balls from the dough. Flatten them further with the help of your palms and then with a rolling pin. Give them a round shape and cut it in half. Now dipping your hands in water, fold the edges of the semi-circle in order to give it a cone shape.
Take the filling and stuff the prepared mixture in it. Seal the ends properly by pressing the edges lightly with your fingers. Then, heat oil in a pan and deep fry the samosas until they turn golden brown and crispy enough. Serve with any dip of your choice. Enjoy it as a tea-time snack.
