How to make Green Pea And Mint Samosa?

1) For the dough, in a bowl take the refined flour. Add salt, refined oil, and ice-cold water to the flour and make a hard/tight dough. After the dough is ready, keep it aside to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Then make small balls of dough.

2) Heat oil in a large Meyer Frying Pan and when hot, add cumin seeds. When they pop, add onion and fry for around 10 minutes until soft and golden, stirring occasionally. Add the ginger-garlic paste and stir-fry for a minute.

4) Roll out the dough in an oval shape and cut it into 2. Pick half a piece in hand to make a cone for filling stuff. Stuff the peas mixture in this cone and place a cube of mozzarella in the middle. Match two sides together to get a triangular shape.

 Expert Tips

1) If you don’t want to deep fry, you can also bake these in the oven. Similarly, air-frying is also an option, but either way, you’ll need to brush the samosa in plenty of oil before cooking. 

2) The key to perfectly crisp and thoroughly cooked samosa is low and slow. We like using a cast iron dish which takes a long time to heat up and longer to cool down, so I heat it on a low heat and ensure that the oil doesn’t get too hot.

3) It’s important to not crowd the pan during deep-frying, as it will prevent the samosa from cooking properly, so don’t cook more than you can fry in a single layer at any one time.

4) We need to ensure that the samosas don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. We may need to turn the heat up a little at the end if the samosa isn't coloring much.
