- For the vegetable filling:
- 1.
- Heat a large frying pan over low heat and add the ghee, potatoes, garlic, onion, and ginger.
- Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring several times, to sweat the potatoes.
- Do not allow the potatoes to brown.
- 2.
- Add the remaining ingredients and continue cooking, covered, until the potatoes and peas are tender (about 5 minutes).
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remember that potatoes require lots of salt.
- Set aside and allow to cool before filling the pastries.
- Filling the pastries and frying the Samosas:
- 1.
- Working with one wrap at a time, position the wrap directly in front of you oriented as a diamond with each point pointing in a compass direction.
- Place a generous teaspoon of the filling in the center of the diamond, wet the edges of the diamond with a little water and fold the bottom half of the diamond up over the top half and the filling forming a triangle.
- Press the edges slightly to seal and then place on a dish.
- Continue this process until all the wrappers and the filling have been used up.
- 2.
- After all the Samosas are formed, either heat about 4-inches of oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F over medium high heat or place the manufacturers suggested amount of oil in the container of a deep fryer and heat it to 375 degrees F.
- 3.
- When the oil comes up to temperature add the Samosas to the oil, several at a time, and fry until golden brown (for the oil in pot method) or per manufacturers suggested time (if you are using a deep fryer), about 4 minutes.
- After they are fried , remove the Samosas from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a dish lined with paper towels to drain.
