Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Add olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.
Gradually add warm water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the chopped onions and green chili.
Cook the onions until translucent, then add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add garam masala, fresh cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix well and let it cool.
Divide the dough into 20 small balls. Roll each ball into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter).
Cut each circle in half to get two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle and form a cone by bringing the ends together, overlapping slightly, and sealing with a drop of water.
Fill the cone with 1-2 teaspoons of the onion filling and seal the edges tightly with a drop of water.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
In a deep pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough; it should float up gradually.
Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Drain the samosas on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
