Instructions
Mix in all ingredients from the dough section and rub together to form a dough
Use very little water only if its required. Use bit by bit and form a hard dough. Let it rest
Cut/mash the potatoes
Heat the oil add rai dana, and then add garlic paste and curry leaves
Add the rest of the ingredients from the Filling section except lemon juice and add potatoes
Cook a little and add lemon juice. Adjust salt and spices. Let it cool.
Divide the dough according to your desired size into portions
Roll out each portion on greased surface as thin as you can
Cut it into two
Again roll out each portion length wise. We are aiming for an oval shape here
Gather the edges
And join them in the middle to form the shape of samosa
Merge the two edges well, working with your fingers so that a pocket is formed
Add the prepared aalo filling in it.
Close the ends by using moist fingers. You can then use a fork to form a pattern but that’s optional
Heat the oil and fry your samosas at medium heat
Serve them with Imli ki chuttney 🙂
