How to make Matar Samosa Recipe -Green Pea Samosa
- To begin making the Matar Samosa Recipe first, mix together half a teaspoon of salt into the flour ,
- Rub ghee or vegetable shortening into the flour mixture, with your fingers until it resembles loose bread crumbs ,
- Gradually add water, slowly, and knead to make a soft but firm dough ,
- Roll the dough into a ball, cover with a moist muslin cloth and keep aside ,
- The next step is to make the filling ,
- In a kadai or heavy bottomed pan, warm the ghee, add the jeera and allow it to crackle and tip in the chilli paste ,
- Saute these together for a minute ,
- Add peas followed by all the other spices and cook till the pea mixture becomes dry and all the water has dried up ,
- Season with salt and cook again for 2-3 minutes ,
- Set the peas mixture aside to cool down so it is easier to handle when shaping the samosas ,
- Make a flour paste, by combining the flour and water ,
- To begin making the samosa cases, divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin circles ,
- Cut each rolled-out circle into two halves by running your knife down the center, so you have 2 semi-circles for each disc ,
- Roll the semi-circles into cones and using a teaspoon fill them with the peas mixture ,
- Dab the flour paste along the edges of the open side of the cone, press the two edges together and seal ,
- Arrange the matar samosas in a platter and cover them with a moist muslin cloth ,
- Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai on medium heat ,
- Deep fry the matar samosas in hot oil till they are golden brown ,
- Try not to fry too many together as it will crowd the kadai and alter the cooking time ,
- Remove the Matar Samosa from the kadai using a slotted spoon and drain them on kitchen paper ,
- Matar Samosa can be served with a dollop of Dhaniya Pudina Chutney and khajoor imli chutney or tomato ketchup, along with masala chai in the evening ,
