Corn And Pea Samosas In Caraway Seed Pastry Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in potatoes and peas. Cook until potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash together and set aside.
• In a large saucepan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Brown cumin seeds and bay leaf. Mix in onions and ground beef. Cook until beef is evenly brown and onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic, fresh ginger root. Season with black pepper, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, cinnamon and cardamom. Stir in the mashed potato mixture. Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat.
• Mix cilantro and green chile peppers into the potato and beef mixture. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each phyllo sheet. Fold sheets into triangles, pressing edges together with moistened fingers.
• In small batches, fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Steps:

• Sift flour into a bowl. Add ghee and caraway seeds. Mix and gradually stir in enough water to form a firm dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
• Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chile powder. Cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, peas, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Remove filling from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into 3 3/4-inch rounds and place a rounded teaspoon of filling into the center of each round. Brush edges with water and press together using your finger or a samosa presser.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deep-fry samosas until browned, about 5 minutes per batch.
