SAMOSAS...INDIAN SAVOURY PIES

Steps:

• ---The Dough---.
• Mix and rub oil into the flour till you can make firm balls with your hands.
• Add a bit more oil, if necessary.
• Add water, a little at a time, to make a very stiff dough.
• It should be so stiff that you should not require any extra flour for dusting while rolling.
• Knead for 5-7 minutes, roll into a large ball.
• Cover with a damp cloth and set aside while you make your filling.
• ---The Filling---.
• Heat oil.
• Add cumin seeds, ginger and green chilies.
• Give it 4-5 twirls, add potatoes and everything else.
• Sauté for two minutes.
• Remove.
• ---The Paste---.
• In a cup, make a thick paste with 1 tblsp of flour and 1 tblsp of water.
• This is the 'glue' with which you will seal the samosas.
• When all the above is organized, make walnut-size balls with the dough and roll each out to make circles of about 6" in diameter.
• With a sharp knife, halve each circle to make 'D' shapes.
• Put a little paste on half the length of the cut side and overlap it with the other half to form a cone.
• Lightly press the glued edges to seal.
• Fill the cone 2/3rds with the mixture.
• Again, apply paste on the insides of the open edges at the top.
• Press to seal the glued edges.
• Voila!
• Your triangular shaped samosa is ready to be fried!
• Make all the samosas--remember to cover them with a well-squeezed damp cloth.
• When all are done, heat oil, 3 inches deep, in a wok/fry pan.
• Slide each samosa in--do it in batches of 6 or 8.
• Once you have a batch in the oil, reduce heat and fry on medium-low till they are golden brown and nice and crisp.
• Serve hot with ketchup or coriander/mint chutney.
