Method
In a bowl, add whole wheat atta. Add ajwain/om, salt and sugar
Add ghee and rub the ghee in between your fingers with the flour to resemble crumbs
To this add cold water little by little. Bring the atta together. Knead well. Cover and keep aside to rest in the refrigerator
For aloo/potato filling, heat oil add jeera. Let them splutter
Add green chilli and ginger paste and saute
Add turmeric, red chillie powder, add garam masala
Add green peas and saute
Add amchur powder and dhania powder. Saute
Add chopped onions and fry till onions turn soft
Add boiled and roughly chopped potatoes
Add salt to taste and mix, add coriander, finish with little lime juice. This is the filling. Set aside
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Keep other items ready, rolling pin, cutter, water for brushing edges to seal the samosas. Pre-heat oven to 180 Deg C
To make samosas, get the dough out, knead lightly. Roll into a log
Cut the log into halves, again into quarters. Take each quarter and roll out into a round like a chapathi
Cut into halves using a knife or cutter
Pick each half, brush the edges with water as shown
Bring the diametrical ends/edges of the half and form into a cone
Keep the folded samosa like a cone
Spoon a little bit of the filling into a cone
Fold a higher edges like forming a pleat. Seal the edges and place on the baking tray
Make rest of the samosas, brush butter on top
Bake at 180 deg preheated oven for 20-25 mins or as needed
Serve hot with green and meetha chutneys or ketchup
Notes
These samosas can also be deep fried in hot oil on medium flame till golden and crisp. Make sure to completely seal the edges especially when deep frying
Make a few, with practice you can make good shapes of samosas
If making a big batch then baking is the best option
Smear butter as soon as 1 or 2 samosas are made or they will dry up
You can also use milk to seal the edges instead of water
Use any other type of filling you like, mixed veg or paneer etc.
Make crumbs by rubbing ghee into the flour this will ensure a flaky pastry dough of the samosa
