Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 potato, boiled and mashed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, oil, and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chickpeas, mashed potato, onion, garlic, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, cilantro, and salt. Mix well to form the soca filling.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle. Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles.
- Take a semi-circle of dough and form a cone shape, sealing the edges with water. Fill the cone with the soca filling and seal the top edge with water to form a triangular samosa. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
