Equipment

  • oven
  • Rolling Pin
  • large mixing bowl
  • stove top
  • parchment paper
  • clear wrap

Ingredients

Dough

Stuffing

Fresh Foods

  • 6 cups diced and boiled potatoes peel first
  • 2 cup green pea/carrot/corn mix
  • 2 cup diced onions
  • 6 cloves minced garlic

Dry Spices

  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 2 tsp salt

Extra

  • 3 tbsp soup stock for sautéing onions and garlic

Instructions

Activate the Yeast

  • In a large bowl, mix together yeast, sugar and warm water.
  • Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes. You'll see some bubbling, and you should smell the yeast.

Prepare the Dough

  • When yeast is ready, mix in your flour.
  • Once you have a rough dough ball, take it out of the bowl, dust your working surface (I use my cutting board), and knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • When done kneading, tear off 16 small chunks of dough and roll them into balls (one ball makes 2 samosas).
  • Set your dough balls on a tray, cover them with plastic wrap, and let them sit for 45 minutes. Do not let them sit in the open air (see notes above).

Make Samosa stuffing

  • Peel, dice and then boil your potatoes until soft (It should take 12 to 15 minutes).
  • Pour cooked potatoes into a colander, rinse with cool water, and then set aside to drain.
  • While potatoes are draining, sauté onions and garlic with soup stock until soft and brown (about 3 to 5 minutes).
  • Add potatoes, green peas, salt, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and fennel seeds to the pan with your nicely browned onions and garlic.

Form and Cook Samosas

  • Roll out a dough ball, cut in half, form and stuff one samosa with each half of the dough ball.
    Be sure to watch the video at the top of this page that shows how to make a samosa--it's super easy to learn, but if you don't do it right, your samosas will tear, fall apart, or end up being too "bready."
  • After all samosas are made, put on a parchment lined tray and bake for about 15 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
