Yield: 8 samosas
Ghee, as necessary
1 ts White cumin seeds
1 tb Onion, chopped
4 tb Cauliflower, grated
1 tb Green peas
1 pn Asafetida
1 ts Green mango powder
1 pn Garam masala
1/2 ts Salt, or to taste
1/2 ts Cayenne
1 ea Recipe pastry dough
Water to bind
Heat 1 tb ghee in a skillet. Saute the cumin seeds until golden. Add
onion, cauliflower & peas & mix well. Mix in asafetida & mango
powder, stir. Add garam masala, salt & cayenne. Cover the pan &
cook over a moderate heat for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat &
cool. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions.
Take one half-moon of pastry & brush the edges with water. Fold into
a cone. Fill pastry with 1 portion of cauliflower mixture & seal the
top. Repeat with the rest of the pastry.
Heat sufficient ghee (or vegetable oil) in a wok or large skillet to
deep fry 4 samosas at a time. When very hot, deep-fry each samosa
for a few minutes, until golden brown, flipping once to cook both
sides. Drain on paper towels.
**MARK'S NOTE: To avoid excess fat I like to deep-fry the samosas,
drain them very well & then reheat them in a toaster oven at 350F for
5 minutes or so. If you place them on a grill while re-heating them,
extra oil can also drain off.
