Instructions

Stuffing

  • Wash and soak the dal for about 2 hours.
  • Add salt and turmeric powder to the dal and cook in a pressure cooker for one whistle.
  • Open the pressure cooker after the steam has released.
  • Check the dal, it should be cooked but slightly firm.
  • Put in a sieve and leave it for 10 minutes.
  • This will cool down the dal and the excess water will be drained.
  • You can use this dal water to bind your chapati dough or in some curry.
  • Now take the boiled dal in a bowl.
  • Add all spices and herbs and mix well.
  • Once well mixed, mix again with hands, this time crushing the dal a little.
  • Take a test check before you proceed to prepare the samosas.

Glue

  • Mix the flour and water and make a smooth paste.

Preparing the samosas

  • Take a samosa strip and form a cone at one corner.
  • Fill in the prepared stuffing.
  • Now fold the strip over the cone and just go around folding.
  • Seal with the prepared glue.
  • Check here for step by step pics.
  • Brush the samosas with oil.
  • You could deep-fry, bake or use an air fryer to get them crisp and golden.
  • I have deep-fried them.
