Instructions:
For the Samosa Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Shree Panchratan’s gluten-free flour and salt.
- Add vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add water and knead the flour to form a stiff and smooth dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
For the Samosa Filling:
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Then, add finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in grated ginger and chopped green chilies. Cook for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add mashed potatoes and green peas to the pan. Mix well with sautéed onions and spices.
- Incorporate garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Ensure thorough mixing until the flavors are infused. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
Assembling and Frying the Samosas:
- Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls.
- Roll out each ball into a small circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
- Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, overlapping the straight edges.
- Seal the edges firmly together.
- Fill the cone generously with the prepared potato filling.
- Seal the top of the cone by pressing the edges together to close the samosa.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the fried samosas and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the gluten-free samosas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
- Enjoy these delectable gluten-free samosas as a tasty snack or appetizer for your family and friends!
