If there is one dish that is universally loved, it has to be the humble samosa. This iconic Indian snack boasts a crispy exterior and a savory filling that is simply irresistible. In this episode of Maneet’s Eats on Food Network, Chef Maneet Chauhan shares her tips and tricks for making delicious potato and pea samosas at home.
To begin, we’ll need to make the dough for the samosas. In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, ajwain seeds, and salt. Rub ghee into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, then mix in cold water to form a pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
For the potato filling, grate boiled potatoes and set aside. In a skillet, heat oil and add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and coriander seeds. Stir in ginger, serrano chile, and peas, then add garam masala, amchur, asafetida, fenugreek, and cumin. Mix in the grated potato, season with salt and pepper, and fold in cilantro.
Now it’s time to assemble the samosas. Divide the dough into portions, roll into balls, and flatten into discs. Cut each disc in half to create semicircles. Brush the straight edge with water, fold into a cone, fill with the potato mixture, and seal the edges.
Heat oil in a pot and fry the samosas until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with tamarind or mint chutney, or ketchup.
These homemade samosas are sure to be a hit at any gathering. With Maneet Chauhan’s expert guidance, you’ll be able to master the art of making these irresistible snacks in no time. So, grab your apron, follow the recipe, and get ready to indulge in the crispy, savory goodness of Maneet Chauhan’s samosas.
