Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine semolina, whole wheat flour, salt, and oil in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead well for 5-7 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- In a separate bowl, combine mashed banana, green peas, green chili, coriander, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, dry mango powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Assemble the Pinwheels
- Knead the rested dough briefly. Divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick). Trim the edges to create a neat rectangle or square.
- Spread half of the filling evenly over the rolled dough.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Gently press the open side of each slice to create a pinwheel shape.
Bake the Pinwheels
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pinwheels in sesame seeds.
- Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Serve the baked samosa pinwheels warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Samosa Pinwheels
- For a crispier crust, brush the pinwheels with a little oil before baking.
- If your dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
- These pinwheels are best served fresh from the oven, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
