Рецепт Classic Samosa

• Whole wheat flour: 1/2 cup
• All Purpose flour: 1/2 cup ( if using only APF, double the quantity)
• Salt: 1/2 tsp
• Carrom seeds (Ajwain): 1/2 tsp
• Coriander/Parsley flakes: 1tsp (use any dry green flakes)
• Butter or Oil: 3 tsp
• Water: 1/4 cup , add more if required
• Method for making Samosa dough: - In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients - whole wheat and all purpose flour, salt, ajwain, dry coriander flakes. Add butter (at room temperature) or oil into the flour and mix it well. Slowly add water to the mix and knead the flour to make a smooth but tough dough (the dough is slightly tougher than chapati dough but should be comfortable to work). Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and set aside for at least half an hour.
