Samosa pocket preparation:
• Put 2 ½ cups flour in a bowl and add 1 cup cold
water. Mix into a medium soft dough.
• Turn dough onto a flat surface and knead thoroughly until smooth.
• Make a thick long roll, cut into 9 pieces and
make the pieces into small balls.
• Roll out the balls, one at a time into desired
thickness.
• Flour the surface, slightly oil the top of each
rolled-out ball and stack them on top of each
other. Continue until all the pieces are placed.
• Stitch the edges by poking light holes.
• Roll them out together to one large round piece.
• Heat a shallow pan and toast the rolled dough
for 2 minutes per side. If the shallow pan is too
small, cut the rolled-out dough to fit.
• Toast each side lightly, peeling off each layer
after toasting until all the 9 pieces are separated.
• Cut triangular shapes on each separated piece;
fold each of the triangular pieces into an envelope and seal the edges with a preparation of
wheat flour paste.
To make the paste:
• The paste is used to seal the envelopes.
• Mix ¼ cup of water and ½ cup of flour to make a
thick paste.
• Make the casings using the paste to bond and seal
the edges.
Filling the Samosa:
• Spoon the cooled meat filling into the casings and
seal off the edges using the paste.
• Do not overfill the casings to prevent it any tears or
rips on them.
Cooking:
• Heat the remaining oil in a deep pan up to 170°C
or about 6 minutes or until the oil bubbles when a
pinch of dough is dropped in the oil.
• Carefully, deep each samosa into the hot oil and
cook while turning until golden brown on both
sides.
• Remove from the hot oil making sure to let any
excess oil drain back into the pan.
• Place onto paper towels to drain any excess oil.
• Repeat the process until all the samosas are
cooked.
• Serve.
