Samosa

believed that it originated in Central Asia prior to the 10th century.[1]It generally consists of a fried triangular-/pyramid-shaped pastry shell with a savory potato, onion and pea stuffing, but other stuffings like minced meat and fish are often used. The size and shape of a samosa, as well as the consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably. It is spicy and is often eaten with chutney, such as mint, coriander or tamarind. It is often savored with tea or coffee. It can also be prepared as a sweet form, rather than as a savory one. In the city of Hyderabad, India, a smaller version of the samosa with a thicker pastry crust and mince filled center is called a Luqmi. Samosas are often served in chaat, along with the traditional accompaniments of yogurt, chutney, chopped onions and coriander, and chaat masala. Samosas have become popular in the United Kingdom and East Africa, Persian Gulf countries as well. They are often called "Samboosa" or sambusac by the Arabs. Frozen samosas are increasingly available in grocery stores in the United States. Baked samosas are a healthier alternative to the traditional fried ones. Samosa Ingredient 1 freshly ground coriander powder 1 freshly ground cumin 1/2 garam masala 1 fresh cilantro, chopped 1 large potato, boiled, peeled and mashed 2 tablespoon lemon juice salt to taste whole wheat flour clarified butter (ghee) for frying 1 onion, finely chopped ginger, very finely chopped ground meat and peas Instructions For smooth dough knead the flour for few minutes, cover with a damp cloth and set side.Fry the onions in butter. Next, stir in the ginger, ground meat, peas, spices, and salt to taste. Fry for two minutes. Add the potato and lemon juice, and fry for a few minutes more. Cool this mixture. Meanwhile, knead the dough again, divide it into small balls, and roll each one out until it is quite thin. Cut the pieces in half and lay one part on top of the other. Press lightly, and then roll the pieces into very thin semicircles. Put a portion of the filling on one half of each pastry piece, moisten the edges with water, and fold the other half over. Press the edges together well with a fork, then deep fry in butter until crisp and golden. Serve warm, with mint chutney or lemon pickle.
