Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
-
2.Gradually add water and knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
3.In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
-
4.Add the diced carrot, frozen peas, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
-
5.Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
-
6.Remove the skillet from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool. Once cooled, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
-
7.Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
8.Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
-
9.Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and seal the edges by pressing them together.
-
10.Arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
-
11.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Carrot — Make sure to dice the carrot into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Frozen peas — Thaw the peas before adding them to the vegetable mixture to prevent excess moisture.
- Fresh cilantro — Rinse the cilantro thoroughly and pat it dry before chopping to remove any dirt or impurities.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the vegetable filling.
- Serve the Dutch-style samosas with a side of tangy Dutch mustard or a refreshing yogurt dip.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, brush the samosas with melted butter before baking.
- Experiment with different vegetable combinations such as mushrooms, leeks, or spinach for a unique twist.
- Leftover samosas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Dutch-style samosas as an appetizer or snack. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a dipping sauce of your choice. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an added touch of freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the samosas on a platter, allowing their golden brown color to shine. Consider serving them alongside a small bowl of Dutch mustard or a dollop of yogurt dip for an attractive presentation.
