Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Onion
- 2 small Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
Add olive oil to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Finely chop onions, green chilies, and coriander leaves.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they crackle.
Add chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Cook until the onions become translucent.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle 6 inches in diameter.
Cut each circle in half to form two semicircles.
Take one semicircle and form a cone, sealing the edge with a small amount of water.
Fill the cone with the onion mixture and seal the top edge using water.
Repeat steps for all portions.
Place samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
