Samosa (samoosa) is a small, triangular pastry of sorts fried until golden brown and crispy. The pastry is filled with a curried filling (often vegetables, potato, chicken, lamb or lentils) spiced with fragrant Indian spices.
Combine the flour, oil, water, and salt. Mix the ingredients until they come together into a nice, smooth ball.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and allow it to rise a bit.
When you’re ready to make the samosas, divide the dough into small round ball size and roll them into thin rounds.
Press the ball sized dough and press to flatten.
If you want to fill the Samosas, put a tablespoon of filling (any filling of your choice) in the center of the dough round and fold two sides up until they meet. Lift up the third side and press together to form a triangular shape.
Cook samosa according to your recipe. You can fry samosa, which is the most traditional way to prepare them. You can also bake samosa or air fry samosa.The amount of oil added to the flour is very important to make flaky and crispy samosas. Too little oil will make the samosa crust hard.Dough is a thick, malleable, sometimes elastic paste made from grains or from leguminous or chestnut crops. Dough is typically made by mixing flour with a small amount of water or other liquid and sometimes includes yeast or other leavening agents, as well as ingredients such as fats or flavourings.
