Number Of Ingredients 3

1 recipe any Smosa Filling of your choice (search for "Category: Fillings for Samosas")
1 1/2 to 2 cups peanut oil for deep-frying
12 (8 to 9 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Stack and cut the tortillas in half to make 24 semi-circles. Working with each half separately, brush with water about 1/2-inch in, along all the edges. Then place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the samosa filling on one side of the semi circle. Fold the other side over the filling to cover it. Press the edges well to seal in the filling. Repeat with the remaining halves.2. TO FRY: Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F to 350°F on a frying thermometer, or when a small piece of the dough dropped into the hot oil rises to the top after 15 to 20 seconds. Place the samosas in the wok, as many as it can hold at one time without crowding, and fry, turning them a few times with a slotted spatula, until crispy and golden on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. (If the samosas brown too quickly, it means the heat is too high lower it.) Transfer to paper towels to drain, then serve.VARIATION: A similar samosa can be made with little (4-inch) square or round wonton skins. Since the wonton skins are thin and small, do not cut them in half. Each takes only about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the filling and they fry very quickly, in just about 1 minute.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
