PREPARATION
The farce
1
To make your samosas, first make your stuffing and set aside. To do this, chop the onion and parsley. Cut the carrots into small cubes and crush the garlic and ginger.
2
Brown the onions in oil over medium heat. Then add the garlic and ginger, then the carrots, then the pepper, salt, chilli (optional), bay leaf while stirring regularly. Add the minced meat, mix and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Finally add the chopped parsley, mix, remove from the heat and set aside. Your stuffing must especially be made without water so that your samosas are successful
Samosa sheets
1
In a bowl, add flour and salt and mix well. Add room temperature water little by little. Mix well and knead the dough obtained properly.
2
Then sprinkle the resulting dough with water, cover and leave to rest for 15 min.
3
Once the dough is very soft, roll it out on a work surface sprinkled with a little flour and into several pieces. Then mold the pieces and roll out to form small discs.
4
Stack the discs in a pile, brushing the surface of each disc with a little oil and/or sprinkling with a little flour, except for the last disc on top.
5
Tap the mixture lightly to seal them well. Lightly flour the mixture and spread thinly on a work surface. Cut the edges of the mixture so as to have a circle.
6
Heat a frying pan or oven tray to 170 degrees, then place the preparation and cook for 5 or 7 seconds. Divide in two so as to have a half circle and separate the samosa sheets. You will obtain well-made sheets that hold well. Wrap in a slightly damp cloth.
The folding
1
To fold the samosas, you will need some kind of glue. To make this glue, mix wheat flour with water so that you get a thick and sticky mixture.
2
Take a half-circle of foil, bring the bottom part towards the water, then bring the top bottom corner upwards so as to form a small first triangle. Brush the surface of this small triangle with glue. Fold the first triangle by bringing its lower end upwards so as to form another triangle. Then fill the pocket obtained with stuffing and a tablespoon of stuffing. Then bring the right end of the triangle downwards, squeezing slightly to trap the stuffing. And continue folding then glue with glue. Carry out the same process with the other sheets This is finally the last step of the preparation: fry the samosas. Now fry the samosas in hot oil over medium heat, turning constantly until they are golden brown and drain Your samosas are ready. Enjoy your meal
