Ingredients
  

For the samosa dough:
  • 1 cup Khapli wheat flour/ragi flour
  • 1 tbsp A2 ghee
  • A pinch of salt
  • Water, as needed, to knead the dough
For the samosa filling:
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables, carrots, peas, potatoes, beans, and so on, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp cold-pressed coconut oil
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

For the samosa dough:
  1. Combine khapli flour, A2 ghee, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix well until the flour resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough.
  4. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
For the samosa filling:
  1. Heat cold-pressed coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  3. Add grated ginger and green chili.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables and cook until they are slightly tender.
  5. Stir in turmeric powder, ground coriander, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are fully cooked and the spices are well combined.
To assemble and bake the samosas:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or circle.
  3. Cut each rolled dough in half to form two semi-circles.
  4. Take a semicircle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge using water.
  5. Fill the cone with the prepared vegetable filling.
  6. Seal the open edge of the cone to form a triangle-shaped samosa.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling to make more samosas.
  8. Place the assembled samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  9. Lightly brush the samosas with a few drops of A2 ghee.
  10. Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Power Tips and Variations:
  1. A few variations for filling can be A2 paneer and spinach, mushroom, chickpeas filling, lentils and vegetables, and those who are non-vegetarians can opt for minced chicken and eggs too.
