Samosas
- FOR THE PASTRY
- 6 cups flour
- 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups ice water
- FOR THE FILLING
- 5 1/2 cups potato
- 2 cups peas
- 1/2 cup onion
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- FOR THE PASTRY
- Combine dry ingredients, then cut in cold butter. Mix in ice water until mixture forms ball.
- FOR THE FILLING
- Peel and boil potatoes until done. Cut into small cubes.
- Saute onion on low heat until golden brown, then add spices and saute for a couple of minutes until they are well mixed in with the onion.
- Add potato cubes and peas and mix well.
- Allow to cool.
- ASSEMBLY
- Divide the pastry into 2 ounce pieces.
- Roll out each piece into a long oval and cut in half crosswise. (This will make two samosas.)
- Brush a little water across each cut straight edge and seal the two ends of the straight side together. This will form a cup. Put about 1 tablespoon of filling into the cup, then bring the open end over and seal all edges with a fork.
- Freeze the assembled samosas on cookie sheets. Once they are fully frozen, they can be stored in bags.
- FINAL COOKING
- Take samosas directly from the freezer to hot oil. Fry between 300 and 350 degrees and drain on paper towels.
