Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 2 pieces Large onions, finely chopped
- 1 piece Green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour.
Cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water and knead until a soft dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds. Cook until they begin to crackle.
Add chopped onions, green chili, and ginger to the pan and sauté until onions become translucent.
Stir in ground turmeric, ground coriander, red chili powder, and ground black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool. Stir in fresh cilantro.
Divide the rested dough into small portions, approximately the size of a ping pong ball, and roll each into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Form each semi-circle into a cone shape, seal the edge with a little water, and fill the cone with the onion mixture.
Seal the open end, ensuring the edges are firmly pressed together.
Heat oil for frying in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the samosas until golden brown. Fry in batches if necessary.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with a low sodium mint chutney or yogurt dip.
