Samosa
The triangular icon — crisp, flaky pastry hugging a spiced potato-pea filling. Tea-time is not tea-time without it.
Ingredients
Method
- Rub oil and ajwain into the flour until sandy; knead a stiff dough. Rest 30 minutes.
- Temper cumin; add ginger, chillies, peas, potatoes, and spices. Cool the filling.
- Roll ovals, cut, cone them, fill, and seal the edge with a wet finger.
- Fry on LOW heat until pale gold, then raise the heat for the final minute.
- Serve hot with tamarind and mint chutneys.
Notes
Slow frying makes the crust blister and stay crisp for hours — high heat makes it bubble and soften.
