Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Cottage cheese (Paneer)
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
- 2 medium Boiled potatoes
- 0.5 cup Peas
- 1 small Onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
To prepare the dough for the samosas, mix whole wheat flour with salt and olive oil in a large bowl. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside while you prepare the filling.
For the filling, crumble the cottage cheese into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked chickpeas and boil until the potatoes are fork tender, then mash them and set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add finely chopped onion and saute until translucent.
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Add peas, mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and crumbled cottage cheese to the pan, mixing well.
Season the filling with garam masala, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and mix in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow to cool.
Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semicircles.
Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone shape. Seal the edges using a little water on your fingers. Fill the cone with a spoonful of the filling and seal the edges to form a triangular samosa.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully slide a few samosas into the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry until the samosas are golden brown and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
