Crispy samosas with fruity chia filling
When I woke up on 1st of January I said "good morning sunshine" (even though there was no visible signs of sun) and I started to think what to experiment with. There were many recipes, I tried many things (yup!). This Monday a miracle happened. I made something so extremely delicious, that I said "fuck yeah!".
It is officially my recipe of the year and I don't think that there may be anything more delicious going out of my kitchen this year. But, obviously, lets hope. These are samosas. Tomasz does not like them, because it's too dry for him. But when he tried mine with my super awesome filling, he said "fuck yeah!". So now you see that you have to try it. If two people who never agree when it comes to food say "fuck yeah" to the same recipe, it must be awesome.
The recipe for samosa dough comes from Playful Cooking
You will need for the dough:
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup whole wheat flour
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons ghee
water
You will need for the filling:
4 tbsp chia seeds
1 apple
1 banana
2 tbsp raisins
1 tsp agave syrup
1 tbsp milk, may be almond milk or any plant milk
Let's start with the filling. Grate an apple and banana, add the rest of the ingredients, mix and live in a fridge for an hour or so.
The dough now. In a bowl, place the flour, add salt, ghee and mix it well with your hand. Start pouring the water very slowly. Only enough to create a dough. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Now we will shape samosas. Get a small bowl of a dough (ping pong ball size) and roll a round shape out of it (like on a picture). Cut the rolled dough in half.
Now we'll fold the dough to create a cone. Glue it well with fingers.
Fill the cone with the filling (about 1 tbsp). Fold the edges so it glues well.
In a deep pan, heat an oil (at least 1cm) and bring it to a low heat. Place samosas in it and let it fry, so they start to be golden on both sides. Place on a paper towel to get rid of an additional oil.
Serve with a natural yoghurt.
Enjoy, Marta
