Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup cottage cheese (paneer)
- 1 cup boiled chickpeas
- 0.5 cup boiled green peas
- 2 medium boiled potatoes
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, salt, and 1.5 tablespoons of oil. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for an additional minute.
Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook the spices for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flavor.
Add the crumbled paneer, boiled and mashed chickpeas, green peas, and boiled potatoes. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add salt to taste, mix in fresh chopped cilantro, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir to combine and set the filling aside to cool.
Divide the resting dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Roll out each ball into a circle of about 6 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Take a semi-circle, form a cone by bringing together the straight edges, and seal them with a little water.
Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling mixture. Seal the open edges to form a triangular pocket.
Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat.
Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, about 5-6 minutes per batch.
Remove fried samosas onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
