Preparation

Dough:

  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre.
  2. Pour the oil and water into the well.
  3. Mix liquid and dry ingredients with your hands and knead the resulting dough for 5 to 7 minutes until elastic.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest on the countertop while making the stuffing.

Stuffing:

  1. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the onions for about 8 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  3. Add the diced squash and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and spices. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and add the peas. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Set aside to cool.

Sauce:

  1. Mix together all the ingredients in the blender and process until smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Making the samosas:

  1. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. With your hands, shape each part into a ball.  
  2. Roll out the balls of dough in 3 mm (1/8 in.) thick circles.
  3. Cut each circle in half.  
  4. With a finger, spread a bit of water on the straight edge of one of the half-circles.
  5. Fold the dough over, sealing that side to obtain a small cone.
  6. Use a teaspoon to insert stuffing. Pinch to seal.
  7. Place the samosa on a baking sheet and repeat the operation.

Frying:

  1. Heat the deep fryer to 190°C (375°F).
  2. Fry 4 samosas at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  3. Serve hot with the sauce.

Tip:

Before the frying step, you may freeze the samosas. This fantastic appetizer will impress any unexpected guests!
