Aloo Samosa

Samosa is one of the very popular snacks in India. But did you know that it actually originated in the Middle East where it was called as Sambosa? Well, now you know...
You can find a variety of samosa in different sizes, and it comes with different filling. I'm sharing one such recipe that I've tried at home which I loved a lot!!! Feel free to add your own variations to it.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

Potatoes (boiled & mashed)

Oil

Cumin Seeds

Ginger (crushed)

Garlic (crushed)

Onions (chopped)

Green Chillies (chopped)

Turmeric Powder

Cumin Powder

Coriander Powder

Chilly Powder

Salt

Coriander Leaves (chopped)

Lemon Juice

Maida

Water

For the Filling:

1. Boil Potatoes until they become soft and mashy and keep it aside.
2. Take oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, chopped onions, crushed ginger, crushed garlic, chopped green chillies, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, chilly powder, boiled potatoes, salt and coriander leaves. Mix it well.
3. Squeeze some lime juice into it.

For the Batter:

1. Take some maida, add salt, a bit of oil and water make it into a dough.
2. Next roll them into a round shape as you would for making a chapathi/puri.
3. Once round, cut it into half so now it looks like a semi circle.
4. Apply milk to the edges so that they stick together to form the code so you could stuff the filling in.
5. Make into codeshape and stuff the filling in it. 
6. Once the filling is stuffed in, close the open end. Make sure that all the sides are closed. We don't want the filling to directly get in touch with the oil.
7. Heat some oil in a pan and fry it until it become slight brownish.

Samosa's are now ready to be served with Ketchup. You could also serve it with chole in the form of samosa chaat.
