Originally from India, this Thai version is small and delicious.



Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
Filling:
½ cup onion finely chopped
½ tsp cumin seeds
1tsp coriander seeds
2 cups potato diced into 1cm pieces



2 small red chillis smashed and chopped
Coriander stalk and leaf roughly chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp curry powder
1 egg beaten (to be used as glue or “gao”)
Peas (optional)

Wheat paper spring roll pastry






Method
  • Dry roast the seeds until you can smell the spices coming out.



  • Then place in a pestle and mortar and pound to a powder.
  • Fry the onion with oil and spices and when aromatic add the potato and ½ cup of water.





  • Simmer and cook until the mixture goes dry and then add chili and coriander.
  • You can add peas at the end of the cooking process to warm through.

  • Folding Technique:

  • Make a pocket with the pastry by folding it into a triangle so that there is a flap left over.
  • Insert the filling.
  • Brush some egg onto the extra flap and use it as "glue" to stick the samosa shut, making sure there are no holes.

  • Heat up oil for deep frying
  • You can test the oil is hot enough by dropping some breadcrumbs, the oil should bubble and the crumbs rise to the surface
  • Using a slatted spoon drop the samosas in the oil
  • Fish the samosas out of the oil when they are brown and crispy
