Samosas

Cultural Context

They became a popular snack in Indian cuisine, often enjoyed during festivals and gatherings. Traditionally filled with spiced potatoes and peas, samosas symbolize hospitality and are a staple at celebrations. Today, they have gained global popularity, with variations appearing in many cultures, including meat-filled and baked versions.

Heat a pan on medium to high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

4

Add 500 g of mutton mince to the pan, along with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ginger and garlic paste. Mix well and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the water dries out.

5

Use the back of a spoon to break down the mince into smaller pieces while it cooks.

6

After 8 minutes, add in 1 heaped teaspoon of the mixed masala and mix well.

7

Add the grated onions to the pan and mix again. Allow the onions to cook for 4 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

Add the sliced green chilies, mint leaves, spring onions, and coriander to the pan. Switch off the stove and mix well. Let it sit for 2 minutes before mixing again.

In a medium mixing bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose wheat flour and 1 flat teaspoon of salt. Mix together.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Roll each piece into a long cylinder about 27 cm long and cut into 6 cm pieces.

Roll each piece into discs, then roll out each disc into saucer-sized rounds, keeping them covered with a dry cloth to prevent drying out.
