🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon, crushed Coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until crumbly.

2. Gradually add water, mixing it in with your hands until a stiff dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

3. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

4. Add cumin seeds and crushed coriander seeds, sautéing until aromatic, about 1 minute.

5. Add chopped onions and green chilies to the pan, sauté until the onions become translucent, around 5-7 minutes.

6. Add grated ginger, turmeric powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices.

7. Remove from heat and stir in fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

8. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval shape.

9. Cut each oval in half to form two pieces. Take one semicircle, form a cone by bringing the straight edges together, and seal the edge with a little water.

10. Fill the cone with a spoonful of the onion mixture, then seal the top of the cone with a little more water to close the samosa.

11. Repeat the process for all the samosas.

12. Heat enough oil in a deep pan for frying over medium heat.

13. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

14. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

15. Serve warm with your choice of low sodium dip or chutney.
