Method

  • Boil regular and sweet potatoes until soft. Peel the boiled potatoes and cut into small chickpea size cubes. Set aside.
  • Heat oil. Add onion and garlic and saute until slightly brown. Add fennel seeds. Add red chili, peanut and saute for a minute.
  • Add cauliflower and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix potatoes in the mixture. Add turmeric, dry cumin powder, salt and mix well.
  • Cook 4-5 minutes stirring often until everything is mixed.
  • Mix flour with little water and make a paste to use as glue. Cut uncooked tortillas in half to a semicircular shape.
  • Take a semicircular tortilla piece and make a cone shape by joining the two points of the straight line. Use the flour paste to join the sides.
  • Add desired amount of filling in the cone and close the open ends using the flour paste.
  • Repeat for the rest of the filling. Individually freeze the uncooked samosas/shingaras or proceed to baking.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Beat egg and add 1 teaspoon water.
