baked samosa with wheat flour
GUEST POST BY KAREN D’SOUZA
We all love samosas! Who can resist them? Especially in the evenings, with a cup of tea and that tangy tamarind chutney to dip the samosas in! I am sure most of you have already started drooling with the mere mention of it. Some of us have been enjoying it since we were kids. But now, as most of us are health conscious, we resist the urge to eat them because they are generally deep fried in a lot of oil.
Baked samosas, on the other hand, are a healthier version of the traditional samosas. These have all the flavours and heartiness of an old-fashioned samosa without the unhealthy frying. I cannot really call it the healthiest of foodstuff because they do include potatoes wrapped in pastry, but because we have avoided the abundant use of oil and frying, I call it the healthier variety.
RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
For the filling:
100g/4oz potatoes, peeled
100g/4oz carrots, chopped
100g/4oz peas
2 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp cumin seeds
1 onion, chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground coriander
A pinch of garam masala
A handful of coriander leaves, chopped
For the pastry:
300g/11oz wheat flour
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
A pinch of salt

Samosas are everyone’s’ favourite snack. But the maida and the oil used for frying along with the potatoes make them an unhealthy option and more so if you tend to binge on them. These baked samosas made with wheat flour are a good healthy alternative.
