Today’s Special: Samosa

The first time I set out to make Samosa, the outcome was terrible. I just couldn’t get the shape, but on my second trial it came out well#LOL. Thanks to Penny Baklit

Samosa originated from India but it is loved by Nigerians mostly at owambe’s ( Party). It is now a popular small chop at all events in Nigeria. This tiny snack comes with a tedious procedure, most people prefer buying the wraps from shops and making the filling themselves, because of the stress in making it.

Ingredients for the dough: Flour, vegetable oil, salt, water

Ingredients for the filling: Carrots, peas,potatoes,cabbage, grounded beef, onions,turmeric, curry, thyme, Veg. Oil, salt and seasoning cubes.

Procedure: Into a bowl, mix the flour and oil until it looks crumbled, put some salt and add water to form a dough.

Cut and roll into small balls. Flatten the balls with a rolling pin and heat using using a non- stick frying pan( don’t use oil). This makes the wraps translucent and light. Then cut the flattened dough into quarters

Filling: grate your carrots, cabbage, dice your potatoes, and onions. Pre- boil your peas

Into a pan put some oil, fry your onions until translucent, then put in your grounded meat, diced and grated vegetables and all your filling ingredients and stir fry. Season to taste
