CHOTA SAMOSA

Main Ingredients:
For outer shell of Samosa:
*Whole wheat flour (atta) – 1/2 cup
*All purpose flour (maida) – 1/2 cup
*Rice flour/Corn starch – 2 Tbsp
*Salt – 1/4 tsp
*Oil – 2 tsp plus 1 tsp
*Water – about 1/3 cup
For Filling in side Samosa:

*Poha : (flattened rice)  :3 cup ( 1 cup of chopped onion = 1 cup of Poha )
*Onions (chopped) – 3 cups (from 2 large onions)
*Oil – 1 Tbsp
*Cumin  powder – 2 tsp
*Coriander powder – 1 Tbsp
*Chat masala          2 tsps
*Red chilli powder – 1-2 tsp (adjust to taste)
*Coriander/Cilantro leaves – 1/4 cup (chopped)
*Mint leaves-1/4cup
*Amchur (dry mango powder) – 1 tsp OR Lime juice – 2 tsp (optional)
*Salt – to teast

Making of the Dough:
*Take one cup of all purpose flour and one cup wheat flour and rice flour mix with little oil, salt to taste and water. Make it a soft dough and rest it for 30 minutes covering it with a damp cloth.
Making of the Filling:
*Take 1 cup of finely chopped onions, 1 cup poha (rice flakes), salt to taste, 1 tb sp spice mix (red chilli powder+coriander powder+garam masala powder) little lemon jiuce(1-2 tsps) or 1 Tsp Amchur powder Mix together and keep it aside.
(The science involved in this filling is very interesting. While frying, the moisture in the onions is absorbed by the rice flakes thus maintaining the taste balance of the filling)
Making of the All purpose flour sealant gum:
*Mix 1 tb sp all purpose flour with 1 tsp water to make a gum like paste. Adjust consistency.(Hereinafter called All Purpose Flour GUM paste
HOW TO MAKE:
*Now prepare 2 inch by 6 inch ribbon chapatis out of the dough kept aside. I am calling it ribbon chapati because, they should be as thin as ribbons. If they are not thin, your samosa will not be crispy. Dry toast it on a pan till you see air bubbles or dry ribbon chapati patti (toast it for for 2-3 seconds).
*This is done to find comfort while folding
*Dry Roast the Samosa patties on Skillet/Tawa/Pan till you see bubbles/patches (2-3 seconds on Hot Tawa )
*Rub the all purpose flour paste  on the ribbon.  Now fold it as shown in the image here
*Fill the pocket of the ribbon chapathi with 1 tsp of the filling. Seal it with  all purpose flour paste . In this way, prepare all the samosas.
*Now take a kadai and fry for the first time in high flame for less time. Let them cool off.
*Now fry for the second time in medium flame till they become golden brown in colour and crispy. Let them cool off.  Try with irani chai and osmania biscuit.
