INSTRUCTIONS
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.
