- – A pinch of ajwain
- – Salt to taste
- – ½ cup water
- – 1 tbsp oil
- For The Filling:
- – 3 large potatoes, boiled
- – ¼ cup peas, boiled
- – ¼ tsp grated ginger
- – 1½ tsp red chili powder
- – 1½ tsp coriander powder
- – 1½ tsp cumin powder
- – 2 tsp Kasoori methi
- – 1½ tsp lemon juice
- – 1 tsp garam masala
- – ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
- – Salt to taste
- – Oil to brush
Method: –
1. Begin by preparing the dough. In a bowl, mix the jowar flour, Maida, salt, ajwain and oil until crumbly. Slowly add water to form a pliable but stiff dough. Cover and set aside to rest.
2. For the filling, mash the boiled potatoes and mix in the peas. Add grated ginger, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, Kasoori methi, lemon juice, garam masala, chopped coriander leaves, and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste. Divide the filling into 12 equal parts.
3. Uncover the dough and knead it briefly. Divide it into six equal balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch diameter circle and cut each circle in half to form semi-circles. You should have 12 semi-circles.
4. Take one semi-circle and shape it into a cone, pressing the edges down. Place one portion of the potato filling into the cone, leaving a space to seal the samosa. Press the filling down gently to fill the cone completely. Seal the edges tightly, using water if necessary. Repeat for all samosas.
5. Place the samosas on a baking tray and brush all sides with oil. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
6. Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the samosas upside down and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
7. Once baked, serve the samosas hot with ketchup or chutneys of your choice.
