SAMOSAS
| Samosas are one of the most treasured appetizers of all
Indian snacks, primarily because of its taste, and the time involved in making such a
devouring snack. |
| The pastry is the most time consuming
part. It is made from white flour, white vinegar, little water, salt and partial oil. Once
the ingredients are mixed the dough is formed and divided into portions. Each portion is
hand rolled out into a circle and then stacked one on top of the other. The stack is then
slightly heated on a griddle and then each layer is peeled, separated, re-stacked and cut
into a strip. Each strip is then peeled when preparing for filling
|
Preparing The Vegetable Filling: |
| The filling is made with a combination of
mixed vegetables, and a variety of Indian spices, such as garlic paste, ginger paste,
cumin powder, coriander leaves, spring onions, chili peppers, lemon juice and an
Indian spice called Garam Masala . It is then
filled into the single layer of samosa pastry (which is rolled to form a cone) and sealed
with a flour and water paste |
| Cooking The Samosas: |
| Samosas can either be baked for crispiness and oil free
flavor, or it can be deep fried for quick and easy to eat snack. For added flavor, samosas
can be dipped into a tamarind
chutney sauce. |
