Mushroom Samosas: A Flavorful Delight
Alright, let’s dive into making some delicious mushroom samosas! Samosas are those crispy, triangular pastries filled with yummy goodness. Today, we’re giving them a mushroom makeover. It might sound a bit fancy, but trust me, it’s easier than you think, and the taste is out of this world!
Before we start chopping and stirring, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need:
For the dough:
1. Mix it up: In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and oil.
2. Add water gradually: Slowly pour in water and knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.
3. Rest time: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
1. Sauté the onions: Heat oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onions until they turn golden brown.
2. Add the spice: Stir in ginger-garlic paste, and cook for a few seconds until the raw smell disappears.
3. Mushroom magic: Add chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their water and become tender.
4. Flavor it up: Now it’s time for the spices! Add garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder if you like it spicy. Cook for another minute.
5. Taste and adjust: Season with salt to taste. Let the mixture cool completely before filling the samosas.
1. Roll out the dough: Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
2. Cut and shape: Cut the circle into half to form a semi-circle.
3. Fill it up: Spoon the cooled mushroom mixture onto one half of the dough.
4. Seal it tight: Moisten the edges with water, fold the other half over the filling, and press the edges firmly to seal.
5. Shape it: Give your samosa a triangular shape by pressing the corners together.
1. Heat the oil: Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
2. Fry to perfection: Carefully drop the samosas into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3. Drain excess oil: Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
