Corn and Pea Samosas in Caraway Seed Pastry

Corn and Pea Samosas in Caraway Seed Pastry

A samosa presser is available from Asian grocery stores, but I use a dumpling press and it works just as well. I love these tasty treats and they are always gobbled up quickly.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • ½ cup warm water

Filling

  • 1 ½ tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon chile powder
  • ½ cup corn, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup frozen peas, or to taste
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1
Sift flour into a bowl. Add ghee and caraway seeds. Mix and gradually stir in enough water to form a firm dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.

Step 2
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chile powder. Cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, peas, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Remove filling from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 3
Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into 3 3/4-inch rounds and place a rounded teaspoon of filling into the center of each round. Brush edges with water and press together using your finger or a samosa presser.

Step 4
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deep-fry samosas until browned, about 5 minutes per batch.
