    Probably the most well known of all the Indian snacks - samosas are simply amazing and I love them. All they are made of is pastry, potato, peas and that's it - how three simple ingredients can taste so good is beyond me, but they are just amazing and yes I will say it again amazing! For me, these are a vegetable dish and although I have cooked meat samosas in my classes it's not something I like to do.
    My most significant memory of samosas is from my wedding where they were part of the festivities, right from all my aunties forming a production line in the kitchen gossiping, giggling and producing the amazing triangles parcels through to being served them for breakfast with a cup of hot, sweet chai, a combination that is out of this world.
    You can't help eating them one after the other and I think we got through hundreds of them. My best friend Nicky and her husband Mark called me a few days after the wedding and asked me if I could pop over and make a few before we left for our honeymoon as they were having withdrawal symptoms - addictive....very!
    Ingredients
    Filling
    1 tsp of rapeseed oil
    4 potatoes boiled (skin on)
    50g frozen peas
    ½ tsp of cumin seeds
    1 tsp of salt
    ½ tsp chilli powder
    2 chillies, finely chopped
    1-2 tsp of garam masala
    1 tbsp ginger, grated
    2 tbsp of fresh coriander, chopped
    Pastry
    200g plain flour
    1½ tbsp rapeseed oil
    Pinch of salt
    Approx. 100ml water
    Paste
    1 tbsp plain flour in a small bowl
    Splash of cold water
    Making the samosa
    potato filling
    pastry
    paste
    Rapeseed oil for deep frying
    Method
    Filling
    Cook the potatoes gently with the skin on (do not boil too vigorously) for about 25 minutes until soft. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cooled peel the skin off with your fingers.
    Cut into small 1cm sized cubes and place in a large bowl.
    In a small frying pan heat the oil and fry the cumin seeds. When sizzling, carefully add the peas and fry gently for a few minutes to soften. Remove from the heat and leave to cool before adding to the potatoes.
    Add the grated ginger, salt, chilli, chilli powder, garam masala and fresh coriander to the potatoes and stir - check seasoning and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
    Pastry
    Place flour, oil and salt in a bowl and rub the mixture together.
    Using your hand begin to sprinkle in a little water at a time to bring the dough together.
    Continue to add the water in this way until the dough comes together. Using wet hands knead the dough until it is soft and no longer sticking to your hands or the bowl.
    Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Heat up a thava or frying pan on the lowest heat setting.
    Take a small tangerine sized ball of the dough and roll it between your palms to make a smooth ball.
    Flatten and roll out with a rolling pin to create a thin round disc the size of a side plate flouring when necessary. Place the disc on the thava for 4 seconds. Remove and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife slice the disc in half so you are left with 2 semi-circles.
    Place the semi-circles on a plate with the tea towel and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the dough so you are left with 10 - 12 semi-circles.
    Paste
    Make some flour glue by adding water to the flour and mix into a thick sticky paste.
    Making the samosa
    Place one semi-circle on your hand with the flat edge at the top and the cooked side facing you. Dip your finger in the paste and spread it across the straight edge.
    Fold in the two corners so they meet in the middle ensuring one edge overlaps the other and press together to seal all the way down to create a smooth upside down cone.
    Turn the cone over so the pointed end is at the bottom. Using a spoon fill the cone with the potato filling to 2/3 of the way up.
    Seal the opening with the paste and seal it closed creating a triangle pastry. Lie on the tray and pat down to even the filling out. Repeat.
    Heat the oil, test it is hot enough by dropping in a little bit of pastry - if it bubbles and floats to the top immediately the oil is ready.
    Very carefully slip one samosa into the hot oil being careful that the oil doesn't splash out. Leave the samosa to cook for a few seconds. As the pastry begins to bubble turn it over using a slotted spoon.
    Leave it to cook gently until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Once it is cooked remove from the oil and set on some kitchen paper. As you become more confident fry 2 or 3 samosas at the same time.

    I made these for a small dinner party with a few neighbors. A tray of about 40 of them were absolutely destroyed in a very short manner of time. Not one person had anything bad to say about them, and every kid, adult, even the ones who "didn't like spicy food" loved them.
    I've said this before, and I'll say it again, the spice can't just be hot for the sake of being hot, it has to warmly complement the flavors, and Ms. Ghotra, you have mastered this. You have made Indian food a staple dish in our house. I have made at least 20 of your recipes so far, and will continue to do so. Not a single one hasbeen a disappointment.

    Also, while I'm at it, I just want to comment that it was sad to see so many critical, caustic, and mean comments. Here is a person sharing the "how-to's" of a recipe, which I found really helpful. People wonder how we can have so much war and hatred throughout our world; what I've read in these comments, explains it all. In order for the world to change, we have to change. After all, do any of us truly feel better when we cut others down? I know I don't.

The way you talk about little details/background on a specific thing while doing cooking is amazing, you provide just right amount of details--the sign of a great communicator. Thank you. Yes, keep it that way because to be successful in this youtube format, one has to make the videos not too long.

    My husband and I would have maybe 8 -10 folks over for an all-night pinochle party or Bonanza card game with the kids using our water bed to watch movies from. We had one friend who brought the fixings for sangria, we cooked up samosas, both the potato and peas as well as lamb. Later in the evening, the smoker took care of the rest of the lamb, big stockpot of fresh corn, saffron rice and salad. Midnight, was Crepes Suzette with oranges and lemons. The older kids lit the brandy and ran the plates around to anyone. It was probably the best meal menus ever. There was NOTHING left but we were all full. The samosas were such a hit and we did have an assembly line for those - men and women because we all wanted more right now. The tamarind chutney sounds wonderful with the samosa. My husband and I used Julie Sahni's cookbook to teach us a lot of what we needed to know.

    I tried making these samosas about a year ago, when I first saw this video. But I was too hungry for all the steps, so I didn't make samosas. I only made the filling and ate it. And it was DELICIOUS. Now, watching this video again, and having made roti and flatbread a couple times, I'm ready for the full shebang. I'm going to make the filling and actually make the pastry and put the two together this time to make real samosas

    Hi there! I'm an Englishman living in France, a chef and I've already made samosas many times, however, it had been a while and I thought I'd try out your way of doing it and it worked out a treat!
    As I'm very fond of meat I made a selection of different ones using potato in each of them which I boiled with a teaspoon of turmeric as it's so good for you plus it adds that extra flavour and colour to the spuds!
    As for the meats I marinated some chicken in tikka paste, a little garlic and ginger, the spuds and of course some of that lovely coriander.
    For the other ones I fried up some minced beef, garlic, ginger, some finely chopped onion and the spuds and coriander.
    They all turned out beautifully and my French friends and I scoffed the lot down as an entrée with some mango chutney and a homemade raita!
    By the way, I too love everything to be very spicy but since my friends aren't so keen I held back on the fresh chillies and used a small amount of chilli powder and pepper just to give a little bit of oomph!!
    I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to trying out other recipes of yours very soon!
    Thank you so much, you're a great cook and a natural for making videos... plus you're a cutey but that's just an added bonus! 😉
    Keep up the good work. Much love 😘

      I have a house full of picky eaters to cook for so I have to make several different kinds of samosas at the same time and I did a lot of the same things you did like adding the turmeric to the vegetarian ones and making the ground beef and garlic ones and some chicken & veggie ones. Then I had a bunch of dough left so I whipped up some apple, cranberry and walnut ones. It was an all day affair but there were plenty left over to pack for everyone's lunches the next day.

      Hari Ghotra Ah i wouldn't go as far as to call myself a good cook, i do put my soul into things i do, like roasting coffee beans or making guitars for example, and get decent results which i find very rewarding.
      Even better is when you can make those things to a standard better than you can buy from shops.
      It's great that in just a few weeks of cooking Indian food as a beginner, some of the things i've made have been better than meals i've paid for from takeaways.....but then again i've had your videos guiding me so really you have to take the credit for that.
      I was hoping to make your madras today but there are 1 or 2 spices i don't have :( i do have a bag of mild madras powder but wanted to follow your spice mix to the letter to begin with.
      Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, i'll definately leave feedback on the aloo tikki and madras when i've made them.... i'm cooking something Indian nearly every day so you'll be sick of seeing my comments before too long hahaha

      I'm loving that you have been encouraged by the videos and you are cooking Indian most days - couldn't ask for much more. Making guitars sounds pretty cool. The madras is delicious if you are doing lamb cook it low and slow for awesome flavours. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with the dishes - good luck!! You should look at my curry kits they are great to have in the cupboard but are still about real cooking - pre made sauces. Hope you get round to that madras!

    My adult son likes to cook different ethnic foods, so whenever I mention seeing a recipe or that I've had the dish, and enjoyed it, he will tell me to get the ingredients, if I don't already have them on hand. And we'll make the dish. Now that I've introduced him to your samosas, we're making them Al least twice a month using different ingredients. We used this recipe with diced shrimp added. They were wonderful ❤️. I can't wait to see what we use in the next batch. Thanks for the video.

    These look lovely and I'll be trying them today. For some odd reason while I was living in Scotland I got very much into cooking Indian food, I think it started when I saw Grandpa on grandpa kitchen cooking with such passion but little in the way of equipment. That made me realize I could do it too. Sadly the wonderful grandpa has passed away but his legacy of cooking for so many is still alive. I really enjoyed watching you cook these and hearing the stories of your aunties all cooking together. Food is love and never more so than when shared. Both in the eating and preparing. I'll be subscribing and getting more involved in Indian foods again, even though it's just me while locked down.

Little did I expect to be cheered up so much by a girl who is so friendly and warm. I loved hearing about the Aunties and Mums in a production line! I'm old enough to remember Britain before Indian and Asian food came to delight our palates. Now we couldn't be without it and neither would we be without our Anglo-Asian/Anglo-Indian brothers and sisters making our country truly 'Great' Britain, true to its roots in multiculturalism!

    Thank you very much for a lovely presentation. I love samosa and was introduced to it while working in Cape Town many years back. Since I am back in my home country, Namibia, it's not easy to find samoosa (our spelling in South Africa) in this part of the world. I am glad that I stumbled upon your channel where I learnt today how to prepare and cook samoosa. I must congratulate you, Hari, for being such a great teacher who made it so easy to follow the instructions. I will try your recipe soon. Needless to say you have a new fan. I subscribed to your channel to learn more of what you have to offer and will recommend it to my family and friends. It was such a pleasure to watch this video. All the best.

  • @CharlieMcowan
    @CharlieMcowan 5 років тому +4

    I realise this video is from some time ago, but still feel you need to be congratulated again on a wonderful presentation and for giving us all a tip which has proved so useful and which I've found nowhere else. Nowhere. And I've seen dozens upon dozens of videos on making samosas.....
    i.e. the idea of very slightly pan frying the dough for e.g. 10 seconds (like a chappati) to firm it up and give it the consistency needed for later bending and shaping it into the samosa shells.
    It's not difficult for someone less experienced like me to either roll out the dough too thinly or to make a dough which is slightly too damp, (or both, which is even worse) resulting in a weak, flimsy cone of dough that will slither out of your hand before you've even reached for the filling.
    Those 10 seconds are the difference between picking up samosas from the table or from the floor.
    Thank you, Hari.
