Instructions
 

  • Firstly, boil potatoes. Add ghee and salt in refined flour (maida) and mix well. With help of lukewarm water, knead tight and stiff dough.
  • Cover the dough and keep it away for about 20 min to rest, it will get puffed.
  • Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them bit finely. Preheat a pan and add 1 tsp oil into it. When oil is sufficiently hot add ginger, green chilly and green peas into it. Cover and cook for 2 minutes so that green peas get soft.
  • Now add finely mashed potatoes, salt, green chilly, green coriander, coriander powder, garam masala, mango powder, raisins and cashews. Mix all the ingredients really well. Stuffing for samosas is ready.
  • Roll out small rotis, not too thin or thick I have made really small to get mini Samosas. Divide into two triangles with a sharp knife. Put in the stuffing and close the edges with a little water.
  • Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Till this time, preheat oven to 180 degrees for 10 mins Grease a baking tray lightly or spread parchment paper. Place the mini samosas on it and brush them lightly with oil.
  • This depends on how much oil we want to apply. Ofcourse, its going to be very less as compared to deep frying.
  • Bake it in the oven, with both the rods on for 15-20minutes. We can increase the temperature to 250 degrees at the end for about 5 mins. This browns them very well.

Notes

The time taken to bake depends on how thin/thick the covering is and the oven also. So, one has to eyeball it a bit.
The time and temperature also varies from oven to oven.
Also, let them stay in the shut off, but still hot oven for a while as the cooking will go on
