The rainy season has come and there’s no better way to spend an afternoon with a cup of hot tea and delicious snack. I was thinking about samosa… crunchy skin with spicy soft potato filling. I check my fridge and decided to make potato and curly endive samosa
Potato and Curly Endive Samosa
Samosa Filling
- 2 (250g) large potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 75g curly endives, chopped roughly
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
- 1-2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon green cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoon oil
- Salt to taste
Samosa Dough
- 2 cup maida (all-purpose flour)
- 3 tablespoon oil or ghee
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- 2/3 cup water
- Salt to taste
Direction
-
Samosa Dough: Mix together flour, salt and nigella seeds. Add oil, rub together oil and flour with fingers until becomes a crumbly mixture. Gradually add water and knead until you get a smooth and pliable dough.
-
Samosa Filling: Chop potato into small chunks. Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion, stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Add garlic, green chillies and ginger paste, stir-fry for 1 minute. Add curry powder, garam masala, turmeric powder and green cardamom powder, stir to mix all the spices
-
Add potato and 1 tablespoon water. Lightly crushed the potato and cook for 2 minutes. Add chopped endives, season with salt, quickly stir to combine and turn off the heat. Let the potato mixture cool to room temperature.
-
Roll out the samosa dough to 1 mm thickness. Cut out the dough using a circle cutter or bowl with 6-inches diameter. Take the disc and cut it in half, fold it into a little cone shape. Fill the cone with 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture. Brush the inside of unfilled dough with water and seal the edge.
-
Heat oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot enough add samosas to the pan, make sure not overcrowd the pan. Fry the samosa on medium-low heat until brown on each side. Remove samosas and drain on kitchen towel.
-
Serve samosa immediately with ketchup, chutney or mint raita.
