My family loves Indian food, so much so that both of my kiddos requested Indian meals for their birthdays! One of the items we enjoy tremendously is the little packets of stuffed pastries called Samosas. The menu on our favorite local Indian restaurant describes them as “Vegetable Somosa – Spiced Potatoes and Petite Pea Turnover<\/em>“. They are absolutely little yummy hot pockets of spicy deliciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spicy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided to try my hand at making them from scratch today. The overall process is not dissimilar to making hand pies or any filled pastries (like making these crescent rolls<\/a>) – first, make the dough for the crust, next the filling, and finally assemble and cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My homemade samosas may not look pretty, but they tastes so good! My family devoured them all within a day and asked for more. This will stay firmly in our cooking baking rotation! I hope you’ll give these a try. They are definitely worth the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for Spicy Potato Samosas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Samosa Dough<\/strong>
2\u00bc cup All purpose flour
3 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
6 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, very cold, cut into small cubes
2\/3 cup Cold Water
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spicy Potato Filling<\/strong>
5 Potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 Onion, diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 inches Fresh ginger, minced
1 Green chile

Making the Dough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gather all the ingredients. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like bread crumbs. Add 1\/2 cup of water into the mixture. Continue mixing while slowly adding the rest of the water until a dough is formed. You may not need to use all the water. Knead the dough for about 5 more minutes. Form into a ball. Cover and let it rest. Next, let’s prepare the filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
