Follow these simple steps to make different and delicious Samosas filled with egg.
Step 1- Prepare the dough for Egg Samosa
Firstly, take a bowl and mix baking powder, maida and salt. Add some onion seeds and 1 tablespoon of oil. Knead and mould it into smooth dough. Then, allow the dough to rest for at least 1-2 hours.
Step 2- Prepare the filling for the Samosa
Take a deep bottomed pan and heat 3 tablespoons of oil on medium to high flame. Once the oil is heated enough, then saute the onions and green chillies until onions turn golden-pink. Add the grated potatoes and chopped carrots in it. Stir-fry for a minute or two. Add salt as per your taste, and coriander leaves. Cover it with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or till the potatoes are soft and mushy. Now, break the required eggs into the pan and cook until the eggs are done. Remove the pan from the stove and allow it to cool for some time.
Step 3- Prepare small puris or balls and stuff them with egg-potato mixture
Now,once the mixture is prepared make small balls of the dough and roll them into thin and small chapatis. Place one to two tablespoons of the egg mixture and shape them into small/medium triangles. Seal the edges of the Samosa with little water.
Step 4- Deep-fry the Egg Samosa and enjoy it with ketchup
Again take a deep-bottomed pan and heat oil in it over medium flame. Once the oil is hot enough, deep-fry the prepared Samosas in small batches until it turns golden brown. Remove and drain excess oil with tissue paper.
Serve hot with the ketchup, onion rings and the chutney of your choice!
