We had a wonderful potluck for our last day in our technology course, and I brought Indian samosas. Many wanted the recipe so here it is (40 samosas):
Ingredients: 20 flour tortillas, 10-12 potatoes, 2 medium onions, small packet frozen sweet peas, ketchup, tabasco sauce, masala (all-spice), salt, flour paste made with water, vegetable oil.
Boil the potatoes until they are soft. While boiling, sautee onions in a flat frying pan in about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When soft, add about 3-4 teaspoons of salt, 2 cups of peas, mix. Add 2 cups of ketchup, and tabasco sauce (add a little or a lot), add the masala (about 1 teaspoon.) Peel the boiled potatoes, mash, and mix in the onion mix. Mix well.
Take flour tortillas and cut in half. Heat the flour tortilla on a flat non-stick pan until it's nice and soft, take the flour paste (mix white flour with water, so it has a glue consistency) and put it around the edges. Fold the half tortilla shell into a cone. Put the potato mixture in the cone, and seal the top. When all of the samosas are filled, heat a pot of vegetable oil, deep fry until light brown, and serve.
The recipe may seem a bit complicated, but there are only a few major steps: preparing the potatoes, the sautee mix, filling the tortillas, and deep frying. You may use any other filling to your liking.
