SAMOSA....

So finally, a post from me...and yes after reading this all those who know me would definitely agree that I need a job...after all I prepared Samosa at home!!!...it turned out to be good...so here is the recipe....

Ingredients:

Boiled Potatoes (5-6 should do if you are preparing for 2 ppl)
Boiled Peas (Fistful...with this you would have understood that this recipe comes from my mom :-))
1 tsp Fennel Seeds (basically Saunf)
Little Pudina, Coriander, Green Chilli (depending on your taste), Curry Leaves, Lemon
Maida (think 125 gms should do...but pls add or reduce according to your judgement)

How to prepare:

Paste:
Grind the fennel sees first. Then add pudina, coriander, green chili and a few lime drops and some water and grind all of these together so as to make a paste.

Masala:
Heat oil in a kadhai. Add rai, curry leaves and hing. Then add the above paste and saute the paste for about 5 mins. (You dont need to wait for the oil to separate like we usually do). Then add the potatoes (u need to cut them into pieces although i have not stated this earlier), peas, salt, turmeric, coriander leaves and lemon.

Dough:
Take the maida, add salt and oil (you would need quite a bit of oil here...think i added around 5-6 spoons). Add water and knead the dough well)

Now the Actual Samosa...
Prepare the rotis of the dough...cut each roti in 2 pieces. Take one piece and make it into a cone. Use water to join the ends. Stuff the masala in the cone and then seal the end with water again...

Heat oil in a kadhai and deep fry on medium flame...
