4 steps to folding a samosa
Baked Samosas Using Bread Machine
Ingredients:
1/2 cup evaporated milk; plus
2 tablespoon evaporated milk; (if needed)
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoon yeast
3 cup flour
----FILLING----
1 medium idaho potatoes; cut into 1/2 chunks
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoon oil
2 clove garlic; finely chopped
2 teaspoon fresh ginger; finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt ----TOPPING----
1 egg; beaten with
1 tablespoon water
What To Do Next:
Place all dough ingredients in machine and program for knead and first rise. Press start. The dough will be quite firm but it should be moist enough to hold together.
Make the filling while the dough is rising.
Place the potato cubes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until they have slightly softened but are not cooked through. Add the peas to the boiling water for the last minute of cooking. Drain the water from the potato cubes and peas. Heat the oil in a large frying pan set over medium high heat and add the onions, garlic and ginger. Saute until the onions are translucent. Add the potato cubes, peas, coriander, cumin, pepper and salt and stir until well mixed. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Turn the finished dough out on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal balls. Let the balls rest 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350øF with the rack in the center position. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball of dough to a 7" circle, rolling from the middle toward the edge. Distribute the filling evenly among the circles, about 3 heaping tb for each one. Lightly moisten the edge of each circle with water and fold over to form a semicircle. Press the edges together firmly.
Fold the pressed edge inward toward the filling and press with you fingertips to seal. Lift the samosas onto the prepared baking sheet and generously brush the tops with the egg glaze. Bake the samosas for 15 minutes, or until they are a rich golden brown. Serve hot from the oven.

SAMOSAs

Samosas
Spiced Potato Stuffed Pastries
Ingredients:
Dough:
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups self-rising flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, cut in small pieces
9 tablespoons water
Filling:
1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup fresh or frozen mixed peas, corn, and carrots
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1/2 habenero chile, minced
1/2 teaspoon garam masala spice blend
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon red chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
To make the dough: Mix the salt and flour in a medium bowl or a food
processor. With a pastry blender, incorporate the butter until crumbs
have formed. Add the water a few tablespoons at a time, until you can form a ball. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Let it rest for about 15 minutes more. You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it.
To make the filling:
Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
If using fresh carrots, chop and simmer in water, to cover, in a small pot. Add the corn and peas to barely cook. Set aside to cool.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until golden. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garam masala, turmeric, chile powder, and salt and cook 2 minutes more.
In a bowl combine the mashed potatoes, the onion and spice mixture, carrots, peas, corn, lemon juice, and chopped coriander. Mix well.
To assemble the samosas:
Divide the dough into 9 equal size balls. On
a floured surface, roll each ball into a 5-inch circle. Cut each
circle in half.
Brush the straightedge side with a little water, fold it in half, and
align the two straight sides so they overlap to form a cone shape.
Squeeze the edges together to make a tight seal. Place approximately 1 generous tablespoon of filling inside each cone, leaving the top edge clean. Moisten the inside top rim of the cone and press the edges together to make another tight seal. Place the samosas on a tray until ready to fry. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat approximately 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan. Fry several samosas at a time, being careful not to crowd them. When 1 side turns golden brown, flip it over to brown on the other side.
Drain on paper towels. Serve with chutney.

5. Brush one strip lightly with butter/vegan margarine and place the second strip on top. Brush with fat again. Place 2 heaped tbsps of the mixture on the bottom of the strip. Fold the end of the pastry over the filling making a triangular shape and continue folding up the strip to the top, alternating diagonal and straight folds to maintain the triangular shape.
6. Repeat with the rest of the pastry and mixture until all is used up. Brush the samosas with melted butter or vegan margarine. Place on an oiled baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
