Instructions
Prepare the Green Chili Paste
- Blend green chilies, garlic, and ginger into a coarse paste.
Make the Samosa Dough
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and desi ghee. Mix well using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add crushed carom seeds and gradually add water, kneading until a slightly stiff dough forms. Cover and set aside.
Prepare the Samosa Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and ground coriander seeds; let them splutter.
- Add finely chopped onions and salt. Cook until translucent.
- Add the green chili paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
- Stir in turmeric, coriander, cumin, red chili powder, and asafoetida. Cook for a few seconds.
- Add the boiled potatoes, peas, cashews, raisins, chopped coriander, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
Make the Slurry
- In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and water to form a thick slurry.
Assemble and Bake the Samosas
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles. Cut each circle into semi-circles.
- Form each semi-circle into a cone shape, sealing the edges with the slurry.
- Fill each cone with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the prepared filling.
- Seal the top of the cone with more slurry, ensuring it's tightly closed.
- Arrange the samosas on a baking sheet. Brush them with ghee or oil.
- Bake for 18 minutes. Brush with more oil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent a hard exterior.
- Serve hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Samosas
- For extra crispy samosas, use a pastry blender to incorporate the ghee into the dough.
- Don't overfill the samosas; it can make them difficult to seal and may cause them to burst during baking.
- If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Experiment with different fillings! Try adding other vegetables like carrots or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
