Whenever I think of an afternoon snack, samosa comes to my mind.I have possibly sampled samosas in all the places around me that sell this delicious snack. Since I like to eat them very often, I found out an easier way to make samosas from *Costco tortillas at home. I am going to share this recipe with you all today. I tried this one afternoon when our kitty party group was dying of hunger, it was a super hit.
Ingredients :
Aloo (Boiled and Peeled)
Peas (boiled)
Onion ( chopped)
Green chillies( chopped)
Garlic
Coriander leaves
Cumin seeds
Cumin-corainder Powder
Amchur powder(optional)
*Costco tortillas( These are uncooked once that you get in the frozen section in Costco)
Procedure:
Samosa Stuffing:
In a pan take one tablespoon of oil, add cumin, chopped chillies, garlic and onions. Fry till the onions turn translucent and add the coriander-cumin powder, amchur powder( if you like the stuffing a little tangy). In a bowl take the boiled aloo and peas and mash them, to this add the onion mixture from the pan and coriander leaves. Mix all the of the above and add salt according to taste.
Samosa :
Take one Costco tortilla, Cut it into two halves, so that it forms a semi circle. Apply water or maida paste ( mix water in maida to form a paste that can work as a adhesive) to the semi circle. Now fold the semi circle to form a cone , fill the cone with the stuffing above and seal all the sides with water or the maida adhesive. One tortilla can make two samosas. Refrigerate the samosas for an hour before deep frying them in the oil. Freeze them for later use. For a healthier version, you can bake them in the oven at450 degrees for 10 to 15 mins. Serve hot with Coriander or tamarind chutney.
