Veg Samosa

This recipe is again one of the Revathy Shanmugam's recipe from a TV show. I made this couple of times and every one at home liked it. The stuffing is easy to make ( No need to cook on the stove top). The actual recipe calls for making the samosa sheets from scratch, me being lazy found an alternate for it. I used the wonton wraps, which we find in any grocery store in the fridge section  ( Not in the freezer)along with Toffu and other vegetables. Don't get the big square or rectangle Wonton wraps. The one that i picked are small squares and are easy to make.

Ingredients:
Cabbage - 4 cups finely chopped
Red onion - 2 cups finely chopped
salt - 1 tsp or to taste
cilantro - 1cup finely chopped
red chilli powder - 3/4 tsp
lemon juice - 7 to 8 drops
chatt powder - 1 pinch
green chilly - 1 finely chopped
Wonton wraps - small size ( Mini squares )

To seal the edges :
Maida/ All purpose flour - 1/8 cup
water - 1/8 cup.

Method:
Finely chop both red onions and cabbage of same size.
Add salt to the cabbage and onion, Mix well and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.


After 30 minutes, if you see the cabbage/onion mix would have left lots of water. Take small amount of the mix in hand, squeeze the water out completely. Repeat the process to completely squezee all the water from the cabbage/onion mix. If there is water in the stuffing, it will absorb lot of oil when deep frying.
Discard the drained water.

Add the cilanto, red chilli powder, lemon juice, green chilly to the cabbage/onion mix after squeezing the water. Mix well. Stuffing is ready!

Mix the All purpose flour and the water using a small wisk to avoid the lumps.


Take a wonton wrap, place a spoon full of the stuffing . Apply the all purpose flour paste on the four sices of the wrap. Fold them like a triangle. Make sure to seal the sides of the triangle tighly, else not oil would go inside when deep frying.

Heat oil in a pan , when it is hot, drop the samosas gently, Fry well on both the sides until golden brown.


Serve hot. Yummy crunchy Samosas are ready! Enjoy with a cup of coffee or Tea!
