Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1.5 cups Fresh grated coconut
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing with your hands until a firm, smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the coconut filling. In a pan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add grated coconut and sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and raisins to the coconut mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone, sealing the edge with a little water.
Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the coconut filling. Seal the top of the cone by pinching and folding the edge to ensure the filling is well-enclosed.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few samosas to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the samosas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve the coconut samosas warm as a delicious snack or dessert.
