MINI SAMOSA

Mini Samosa Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

Samosa is a deep fried pastry stuff with savory filling, normally triangular in shape. It is either filled with spiced vegetables like potato, onion, peas or non vegetarian version with ground beef or chicken.

This is a light snack sold in restaurants or  by street vendors on pushcarts. They make an easy snack or great party finger foods serve during informal family meal or buffets.

Am  bit skeptical when I first saw this recipe  using  raw cabbage as a filling for samosa. So anxious to know how the taste  will be. This is my first trial making samosa with uncooked veggie.

Though it involves a lot of time to prepare especially shaping and frying, these are remarkably  appetizing and gone in seconds immediately after I had fried them. Will be making them again since my son really loves this samosa.

HOW TO SHAPE THE SAMOSA

Divide the dough into 7 balls.

Roll out each ball into 6 in thin circle, cut into half.  Shape the semi circle dough into a cone, overlapping each other. Glue the seam together with a little water.

Fill up the cone with a tablespoon of filling.

Brush the edges with water, press together to seal.  Complete the rest of the dough.

Heat  about 1 1/2 in deep of oil using medium heat. When the oil is hot,  slide the samosa and deep fry until golden brown, turning frequently. Do not crowd the pan.

Remove with slotted spoon and drain on  kitchen towel.

Serve hot.

Hi there, I like it when people fill their samosas other than potatoes. this is another way of eating your veggies even if it is fried.good work.
