Categories: appetizer, vegetable, pastries

Servings: 12

      8 oz Potatoes, cut in even-size        1/2 ts Salt
           -pieces                             2 ts Lemon juice
    3/4 c  Frozen green peas                   1 c  All-purpose flour
      2 tb Corn oil                            2 tb Butter
      1    Onion, finely chopped               2 tb Warm milk
    1/2 ts Cumin seeds                              Vegetable oil for deep
      1    Piece ginger root, peeled,               -frying
           -grated (1/2")                           Lime twists (opt)
    1/2 ts Turmeric                                 Fresh celery leaves (opt)
    1/2 ts Garam Masala                             Mango Chutney

In a saucepan, boil potatoes in salted water 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain well, return to saucepan and shake over low heat a few moments or until dry. Mash well. Cook peas in boiling salted water 4 minutes. Drain well.

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion, cumin seeds, ginger, turmeric, Garam Masala and salt. Cook gently 5 minutes. Add mashed potatoes and peas, then stir in lemon juice. Mix well, remove from heat and cool.

Sift flour into a bowl. Cut in butter finely until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add milk and mix to form a stiff dough. Divide in 6 equal pieces.

Form each piece in a ball and roll each ball on a lightly floured surface to a 6" circle. Cut each circle in half. Divide filling equally among semicircles of pastry.

Dampen edges of pastry, then fold over and seal to form triangles which enclose filling completely. Half fill a deep-fat fryer or saucepan with oil. Heat oil to 375'F. (190'C.) or until a 1/2" cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds. Fry samosa in hot oil, a few at a time, 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with lime twists and celery leaves, if desired, and serve hot with Mango Chutney.

Makes 12 samosa.
