Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large, chopped Onions
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add water while stirring to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add chopped onions and green chili to the pan. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the spices are well incorporated.
Add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the onion mixture to cool slightly.
Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.
Meanwhile, take a small amount of the batter and spread it on your palm to form a flat disc. Place a spoonful of the onion mixture in the center and fold to form a small triangle or desired shape, sealing the edges well.
Carefully drop the prepared samosas into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure the oil is not too hot to avoid burning.
Once fried, remove the samosas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with chutney or dip of choice.
