Samosas-Quick and Easy Recipe



 I bought wonton wrappers from an american store and filled each of them with spicy potato mixture and deep fried till golden brown. Making Samosas can't be any easier than this.

Makes about 25 samosas

Ingredients:
For filling:
Potatoes-3
Oil-1 tbsp
Jeera-1 tsp
Garlic-2 pods
Salt
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Chilli powder
Kitchen king masala/garam masala powder-3/4 tsp
Peas-a handful
Coriander leaves-a handful

For outer cover:
Store bought wonton wrappers-25

Method:
To make the filling:
Pressure cook the potatoes. Peel the skin and mash well.
Heat oil in a pan. Add jeera. When it crackles, Add chopped garlic and fry for a minute.
Add rest of the ingredients and mix well. Fry for 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be dry.

To assemble:
Thaw the wrappers.
Place some potato filling in the center.
Lightly wet the open edges of the wrapper with a drop of water and fold it into a triangle. Seal well.
Repeat these steps for other wrappers.
Deep fry the samosas till golden brown.
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
