Gobhi Samosa (cauliflower Pastry) Recipe
Yield: 8 SamosasRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
Ghee, as necessary
1 tsp: White cumin seeds,
1 tbsp: Onion, chopped
4 tbsp: Cauliflower, grated
1 tbsp: Green peas,
1 pinch: Asafetida,
1 tsp: Green mango powder,
1 pinch: Garam masala,
1/2 tsp: Salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp: Cayenne,
1 each: Recipe pastry dough,
Water to bind,
Directions:
Heat 1 tb ghee in a skillet. Saute the cumin seeds until golden. Add
onion, cauliflower & peas & mix well. Mix in asafetida & mango powder,
stir. Add garam masala, salt & cayenne. Cover the pan & cook over a
moderate heat for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat & cool. Divide
mixture into 8 equal portions. Take one half-moon of pastry & brush
the edges with water. Fold into a cone. Fill pastry with 1 portion
of cauliflower mixture & seal the top. Repeat with the rest of the
pastry. Heat sufficient ghee (or vegetable oil) in a wok or large
skillet to deep fry 4 samosas at a time. When very hot, deep-fry
each samosa for a few minutes, until golden brown, flipping once to
cook both sides. Drain on paper towels. **MARKS NOTE: To avoid
excess fat I like to deep-fry the samosas, drain them very well &
then reheat them in a toaster oven at 350F for 5 minutes or so. If
you place them on a grill while re-heating them, extra oil can also
drain off.
