Gluten Free Samosas
- Dough:
- 2 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp xantham gum
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup water
- Filling
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 medium peeled potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas (or peas and carrots)
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (original recipe called for black, I used yellow, turned out fine)
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Dough:
- Sift together Bob's red mill flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, xantham gum and salt. Add sesame seeds.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and slowly add water, a little at a time. Keep mixing or kneading until mixture is like bread dough (you may not need all of the water. I found it best to mix until the dough is a little sticker than you would expect, that way it is much more pliable when trying to put together samosas) Cover dough and place in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Filling:
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to saucepan of water deep enough to cover potatoes. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until they are soft. Drain, mash and measure out 2 cups.
- In a medium size frying pan set on medium heat, add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add mustard and fennel seeds. When they start popping add cumin, crushed red pepper, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic and jalapenos. Cook four about one minute. Add the mashed potatoes and the peas to the spices, mixing well. Cook for 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assembling Samosas:
- Roll dough into 2 inch balls and cover with plastic wrap. Working with one ball at a time, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a circle about a 1/4 inch thick. Cut each circle in half. Put a small amount of filling in the middle of each half circle. Gently fold the dough around the filling to make a cone. With a fork, press down on the ends of the dough to fuse the dough together. Add more filling if desired, then close the top of the cone.
- Fry samosas in frying oil. Or bake in oven.
