Easy Wonton Wrapper Samosas Recipes

KENYAN BEEF SAMOSAS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break apart the meat and cook for 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until beef is brown and onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, jalapeño, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and scallions to the meat. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas and cilantro, then cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the meat filling from the heat and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil, and water. Use your hand or a spatula to mix together. Once the dough pulls away from sides of the bowl, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 minutes or until the dough is smooth and soft.
• Shape dough into a ball and brush with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a warm damp tea towel. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Remove tea towel and plastic wrap and roll the dough out into a 10-inch (25-cm) long log. Cut into 10 even sections. Take one section and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin circle about 10 inches (25-cm) in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the dough circles as you roll them out, sprinkling a bit of flour between each one and keeping them covered with plastic wrap so they don't dry out.
• In a greased large pan over high heat, place one of the circles of dough and cook for 10 seconds on each side. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Cut one of the par-cooked dough circles into four quarters. Take one quarter and, with the round side closest to you, fold the bottom half to the right. Use the flour paste to seal the fold. Repeat with the left side, crossing over your previous fold to create a cone like pocket. Fill the pocket with meat filling, then fold the remaining tip of the dough towards you and seal with flour paste. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
• In a large, deep pan, heat the canola oil to 350°F (180°C). Once the oil is at the correct temperature, carefully place 4-6 sambusas in the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until light, golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
• Enjoy!

POTATO AND PEA SAMOSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash and dry the baking potatoes. Bake the potatoes in the oven until done, about 45 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then split in half lengthwise to release steam. When cool to the touch, use a fork to mash and fluff the potatoes. Place in a mixing bowl. Discard potato skins.
• Preheat the deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan, heat the ghee. Sweat the onions, garlic, jalapeno, and peas for about 1 minute, or until glossy. Add the ginger, cumin, and coriander. Cook another 20 seconds. Pour over the mashed potato. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and taste to correct seasoning with salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir in cilantro. Allow to cool completely before shaping into samosas.
• To form the samosas, take a generous tablespoon of the filling and with your hand form a cone shape. Place on top of the wonton wrapper, at an angle. Beat together the egg and water to make an eggwash.
• Eggwash the edges of the wrapper and proceed to roll wrapper around the filling, making sure that the top flap is folded to secure filling. Repeat process until you have used up all the filling. Deep-fry the samosas until done, golden and crisp. Serve with Tamarind and Date Chutney.
• In a large saucepan, combine the tamarind pulp, dates, 1 cup sugar, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Cook mixture until tamarind paste has dissolved into the water, about 1 hour, stirring every now and then.

Stir and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Reduce until thickened. Transfer to a non-reactive container and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate until needed.

SAMOSAS AND WRAPPER RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
• 2. Add remaining filling ingredients and cook until potatoes are tender. NOTE: you can substitute fresh carrots and frozen peas with a cup of frozen peas and carrots. I do this instead of dicing and cooking carrots.
• 3. Season to taste with salt, if desired. Please taste prior to salting. I find no need for additional salt in this filling.
• 4. You can use wonton or egg roll wrappers to make your samosas or you can make the traditional wrappers. Frying is the same for all. Heat your oil (vegetable, peanut, your choice) to 350 F. Fry samosas for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. I drain my samosas on newspaper covered with paper towels.
• 5. TO MAKE YOUR OWN SAMOSA WRAPPERS... Mix all ingredients (flour, salt, oil, ajwain) except water. Add water a little at a time, kneading well until you get a soft pliable dough. Roll into a ball, cover with moist cloth and allow dough to rest for 15 minutes.
• 6. TO MAKE THE SAMOSAS USING YOUR OWN WRAPPERS... Make small balls of dough and roll into a circle 4"-5" diameter. Cut circle in half to make 2 semicircles. Take 1 semicircle, fold like a cone on the straight edge. Use water to seal the seam. Spoon filling into cone and fold the round side over the opening, again using water to seal.
