Samosas 2

Hello everyone 🙂 This recipe of mine is a recipe that is very close to my heart. If there is one Indian food that I can truly say I LOVE, it is definitely a good homemade samosa. I’m pretty fortunate because my mom grew up with a desire to learn new recipes, and her passion for that was passed on to me. In the past years, we have tried so many different variations, but I have to say that these Spicy Potato, Carrot & Cheese Samosas hit the spot each and every time!!

Making The Dough / Crust

The samosa dough is usually the part that seems intimidating to me. Doughs in general stress me out, lol. The ingredients are super easy, and if you have a Kitchen Aid or a dough mixer, add everything in there and it will be done in no time! Even if you don’t have any appliances to help you out, I promise the dough is extremely easy and quick to make!

My Favorite Fillings

If you know me, you know I don’t really like peas. These potatoes have all of your typical, delicious, ethnic flavors, but they are elevated. I’ve eliminated the boring peas and added some cubed carrots, onion, garlic, jalapenos, Thai chili peppers, AND CHEESE 🙂 Cheese makes me so damn happy! However, like mostly all of my recipes, feel free to substitute for any veggies you like.

Making Big Batches & Freezing

We always double, or sometimes triple, this recipe and make large batches! It honestly takes less effort to make more at once, than a second batch a second time, I swear! When you are done folding the samosas, you can either deep fry or oven fry immediately if you plan on serving them that day. If you want to freeze them, fry / bake them until they are halfway done, and then freeze once they are completely cooled off. When you are ready to take out of the freezer, simply fry until golden brown. 

If you’re in the mood for more Indian recipes, you have to check out my Mom’s Palak Paneer which is loaded with fresh spinach and seasoned to perfection. OR, try my Mom’s Patuda No Lot, which is gingery, garlicky, and perfect for a cold night in 🙂

INGREDIENTS

Dough

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp carom seeds
  • 5 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1¾ cups water

Filling

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 cup onion (diced)
  • 4 potatoes (diced)
  • 1 carrot (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (shredded)
  • 4 jalapenos (diced small)
  • 4 thai chili peppers (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp khichdi masala (optional)
  • ½ tsp dhana jeeru
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 2 cups white cheddar cheese (shredded)

Other

  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp water

INTRUCTIONS

Dough

  1. Take all listed ingredients and mix together until you form a dough and add salt per taste. If too hard, add 1 tsp of water at a time until it’s a good consistency. Let it rest for about 30 minutes while you make the filling.

Filling

  1. Add your oil to a large pot on high heat. When it’s hot, add in the cumin seeds and mustard seeds.
  2. When seeds stop sizzling, add in the onion and let it cook for about 1 minute. Keep mixing.
  3. Then add in your potatoes, carrot, and salt to taste. Give this a mix and turn stove to low. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. occasionally stirring.
  4. Once the 15 minutes are up, add in the garlic, jalapenos, and thai chili peppers.
  5. Add in the chili powder, garam masala, khichdi powder (if you have), and dhana jeeru. Give the filling a good mix and taste for seasoning. Adjust per taste.
  6. Turn the heat back to high and let it cook until all the potatoes and carrots are 1 minute away from being fully cooked. NOT NOT OVERCOOK. When done, take off stove and let the filling cool down completely.
  7. When it is cooled down, add in your mozzarella cheese and white cheddar cheese and mix everything up.

Forming Samosas

  1. Take your all-purpose flour and water, and mix it together to form a thick paste. We will use this to create a “glue” to hold the samosas together.
  2. This recipe makes about 24 samosas, so equally divide the dough into 12 little balls.
  3. Take each ball and roll it out until it is 8 inches in diameter.
  4. Once you have rolled it out, cut the circle in half. Take one half of it and form it into a cone. Stuff some of the filling into it, and then use the paste to seal the top. Use extra paste to seal any parts that may look like they are open.
  5. Once the samosas are all ready, you can deep fry them if eating right away, or half fry them and then freeze them for later!
  6. Serve with your favorite chutney or hot sauce and enjoy!
