Spicy cashew samosa

Spicy cashew samosa

The spicy cashew samosa recipe involves making dough with all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and spices and then filling it with a mixture of cashews, peas, and potatoes seasoned with various spices. The filled dough is then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. This delicious and savoury snack is perfect for a party or a snack with tea or coffee.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Combine the flour, vegetable oil, salt, ajwain seeds, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Slowly add water to the mixture, constantly stirring, until a smooth dough is formed. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds, and fry for a minute or until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped cashews, green peas, and diced potatoes to the frying pan. Add turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook until the potatoes are tender.
  • Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each piece into a thin, round disc.
  • Cut each disc in half to form two semi-circles.
  • Take one semi-circle and form it into a cone shape by joining the two straight edges together, using water to help seal the seam.
  • Fill the cone with the spicy cashew mixture and seal the top edge using water.
  • Repeat this process for the remaining semi-circles.
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Gently place the samosas in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  • Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favourite chutney or sauce.
