Ingredients

  

For The Outer Layer :

• 2 cup Whole wheat Four
• 1/4 tsp Carom seeds
• 1/4 tsp Baking soda
• 3 tbsp Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• Water as per need

For The Stuffing :

• 3-4 Potatoes boiled
• 1/4 cup Green peas boiled
• 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds dry roasted & roughly crushed
• 1 tsp Ginger grated or crushed
• 2 Green chillies chopped
• 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp Garam masala powder
• 1/2 tsp Mango powder
• 2 tbsp Coriander leaves chopped
• salt as per taste

Instructions

 

For The Outer Layer :

• Seive whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Add oil & rub the oil with your fingertips to get a breadcrumb like consistency.
• Now start kneading the flour to a stiff dought with water.
• Cover the dough with a moistened muslin clothe or kitchen towel and keep aside for 30-40 mins.

For The Potato Stuffing :

• Take a bowl, add potatoes and mash them. Add green peas.
• Add rest of the ingredients and throughly mix them, preferably with your hand.
• Take some potato mixture and make a small ball out of it with the help of your palms. Keep aside after making all the balls.

Assembling The Samosa :

• When the rest time of dough is over, knead the dough lightly again.
• Now take a small piece of dough & roll it on your palms and place it on a rolling board.
• Roll the ball with a rolling pin like you do for making chapatis,keeping the thickness neither thin nor thick.
• Then place the ball of potato mixture, you have already prepared, in the middle of rolled chapati.
• Beginning from one side, hold the chapati from two spots (gap between both the spots should be about 1.5 to 2 inches) & stick both the spots.
• Likewise repeat the same from opposite side.
• Then lift the stuck spots from both the sides & stick again with each other crossing over the potato ball placed in between. This way, you have completed half of the star shape.
• Now moving on to rest of the 2 sides which are still fallen flat.
• Hold the absolute center spot of both the flat sides with the help of your finger tips, lift and join them too with the already lifted & spots, already stuck earlier. Your star shape is completed.
• Be sure there are no cracks & the edges & all the open sides should be joined very well. Apply water with your finger tip where you are countering problem in joining the ends.
• Now take a kitchen scissor and cut the star shape from all the 4 corners, leaving the center intact.
• Fold all the 4 cut strips downwards & pinch the lower portion, which are exactly under the folded strips, giving it a pointed shape.
• When all your samosas are ready, arrange them in the greased baking tray and brush them with a little oil.
• Place the tray in a pre-heated oven** at 180 degrees celsius for 30 to 35 minutes, till the crust is golden and crisp. Do keep in mind that oven temperatures vary so keep a check.
• Your samosas are ready.
