Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups Water
- 3 medium Onions
- 1 unit Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for filling)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and cumin seeds. Mix well.
Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Rub the oil into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, little by little, and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough rests, peel and finely slice the onions. Finely chop the green chili.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent.
Stir in the chopped green chili, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and salt for the filling. Allow the mixture to cool.
Divide the rested dough into 6 equal parts and roll each into a ball.
Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin oval shape on a floured surface.
Cut the oval into two equal parts to form semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, fold into a cone, and seal the edge with water.
Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the onion mixture, then seal the top by pressing the edges firmly together with water.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
In a large pan, heat 2 cups of oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
