Samosa

For Stuffing:

4 potatoes
1 cup peas
2 big onions
1 green chilly
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp amchoor powder (mango powder)
1 pinch turmeric
1 " ginger
1/2 tsp garam masala powder (check for recipe in powders category)
Oil for frying

Seasoning:

1 tsp mustard
1 tsp urad daal



For samosa wraps:

You could buy ready made samosa wraps in Indian grocery stores but you could also make home made wrappers.

2 Cups all purpose flour
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup water

Mix above ingredients to make thick dough like you make for poori. Keep aside for 1 hr.

Cook potatoes in water, peel skin off and smash them. In a pan add oil and seasoning ingredients. When mustard cracks add onions and chillies. When onions turn brown add peas and rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Add smashed potatoes. Stir well and keep aside.

Make small ball out of all purpose flour mixture. Using a rolling pin press the ball to make circle with a dimes width. Cut the circle to half. Put a spoon full of stuffing in the center of half circle. Fold wrap to make a triangle shape and close the edges pressing hard. You could use wet hands for closing the edges. Like this repeat procedure to make as many samosa's as you make with the dough. Deep fry one at a time in oil until golden brown.
