Crispy Samosas with Fruity Chia Filling

This 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.

I read amazing posts on different blogs about year 2017th. I will not write about it myself, because my 2017th was super awesome and I do not think that 2018th may come even close to it. But then I started to cook. Somehow for me new year means a totally new chapter. It always was like this. It does not matter that nothing has changed and that it was another night. It did not make me less tired and it did not give me 1h more in each day. But I feel like I have a lot more energy and I want to cook! I am a food blogger and it should not be a surprise, but the truth is, that for the last few months cooking was not the first thing on my mind when I was waking up.

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!”.

This 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

Recipe

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 them and leave 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

    I see the link for the dough recipe, but where is the recipe for the filling? Perhaps with the website reformatting it got lost? I’d love to find it! These look so tempting!!

    That’s a lovely take on the traditional samosa. They look very tempting.

    hah, so true, if two people say ‘fuck yeah’ about same dish, you know it’s gonna be a goodie 😀 Never tried sweet samosas, but after seeing this- must do!

    Przepiękne zdjęcia. Na samą myśl o genialnych pierożkach wypełnionych bakaliami uśmiech poszerza się od ucha do ucha. Nowy rok, nowe możliwości, mam nadzieję że dla nas obu będzie to bardzo udany rok.

    Ok, Marta, a couple of questions first: does it have to be ghee? Or is it possible to use normal butter? And the flour, can I use say, rye or spelt? Now, I don’t ask for much but have you considered perhaps trying a savoury take on these? And then posting the recipe here? (I’m all wide eyed batting my eyelashes at you, girl, with a puppy look in my face that surely is hard to resist!!!)

      It may be butter, you can use any flour you like. I love the savoury version and it’s the most popular one, but I wanted something sweet 🙂

    I love how you incorporated the chia seeds! I’ve been wanting to use them in my cooking for years, but haven’t ever found a good way to do it. Love!

    • What should I eat for breakfas Reply

      This recipe is definitely worth using them 🙂
