| 1. DOOUGH:. | 2. MIx flour and salt. | 3. Add oil and mix until flour is like corn meal. (I do this in my mixer with the dough hook). | 4. Add water to dough mixing well. This will be a fairly moist dough. Knead dough 5 to 10 minutes until dough is soft and velvety (or beat in mixer). | 5. Cover and let stand 15-20 minutes. | 6. Knead again for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. | 7. Form into a long 1 1/2" diameter "rope". | 8. Cut into 1 1/2" slices. Form each slice into small "buns" and place on a floured board, covering with a damp cloth. | 9. When ready to fill and fry, flatten each piece to about 1/4" and then roll into a circular shape about 1/8" thick. | 10. FILLING:. | 11. Boil potatoes and mash. | 12. Saute diced carrots, minced onion, ginger root and garlic until tender and add to mashed potatoes. | 13. Add green peas and spices. Add salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to personal taste. | 14. Place 2 tbsp filling into above dough circle. Moisten edges with water. Fold in half and seal edges well using a fork. | 15. Store filled samosa's on an oiled cookie sheet and cover with a damp cloth until ready to fry. | 16. Heat 3 cups vegetable oil over high heat until a small piece of dough drops to bottom of pan and pops back up immediately. Reduce heat to medium high at this point. | 17. Fry samosa's 3to 5 minutes each, turning once to brown evenly, placing on paper towels until ready to serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
