Method of preparation 

To make the filling: 

  • Set aside the spring onions, which have been cut into tiny circles.
  • The Irish potatoes and carrots should be washed and peeled. Cut into extremely small pieces and cook for 5 minutes in salted water. If you’re using fresh peas, toss them in with the carrots and potatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender. Set aside after straining.
  • In a pot, heat the oil, then add the spring onions, garlic, curry, and black pepper (if using) and stir-fry for a few seconds.
  • Toss in the minced meat or chicken. Stir-fry the meat until it turns a pale pink color (unless you’re using chicken, in which case the color will be white).
  • Add the stock cubes, chili pepper, and season with salt and pepper to taste. After that, toss in the cooked vegetables.
  • Thoroughly combine, Set aside and forget about it.

To make the samosa dough 

  • In a mixing dish, combine the flour, salt, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and lukewarm water. Mix everything together until you get a stretchy dough.
  • Then cover with an airtight plastic wrap or aluminum foil and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.
  • Knead the dough after 15 minutes to make it more supple and elastic.
  • Cut a piece out and roll it out using a rolling pin.
  • Make sure it’s not too thin; it should be 3-4 mm thick.
  • Cut the rolled dough with a circular cutter, removing the excess dough at the corners, and then cutting the circular form into two diameters (2 half circles of equal sizes).
  • One of the doughs should be made into a cone (the shape of a party hat) by rubbing water over the straight edges of one of the doughs. Scoop a spoonful of the Samosa filling into the cone-shaped dough.
  • Don’t fill it to the brim. Seal tightly by rubbing some water around the edges.
  • Carry on with the rest of the dough in the same manner.
  • Heat some oil to a medium-high temperature and fry the Samosas in it.
  • Fry the Samosas on each side until gently browned, then move to a strainer lined with paper towels to drain.

Enjoy your samosa with a chilled drink, and a cup of tea. We hope this samosa recipe was useful.
