If you’re in the mood for a delightful snack that combines a crispy, golden crust with a fragrant, spiced filling, look no further than the classic wheat samosa. This version, made with whole wheat flour, offers a healthier twist on the traditional recipe while still delivering that beloved flavour and crunch.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
- A pinch of salt
- Water, as needed
For the Filling:
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup green peas, boiled
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Oil for shallow frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the oil or ghee, rubbing it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water to form a smooth, firm dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and set aside for about 30 minutes.
-
Make the Filling: In a pan, heat a splash of oil and add the cumin seeds. Once they sputter, mix in the mashed potatoes, green peas, and all the spices. Stir well to combine and cook for a few minutes. Add the chopped coriander and lemon juice, then remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
-
Shape the Samosas: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each one into a thin circle. Cut the circle in half and form a cone shape with one half by sealing the edge with a bit of water. Stuff the cone with the prepared filling and seal the top by pinching the edges together securely.
- Fry the Samosas: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently slide the samosas into the oil, frying them in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
Serve your wheat samosas warm with mint chutney or tamarind sauce, and enjoy a taste of culinary bliss! Perfect for an afternoon snack or as a delicious appetiser at gatherings, these samosas are sure to be a hit.
