Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1.5 cups Fresh grated coconut
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 cup Raisins
• 1 tablespoon Ghee
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing with your hands until a firm, smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the coconut filling. In a pan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add grated coconut and sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, and raisins to the coconut mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 7

Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone, sealing the edge with a little water.

Step 8

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the coconut filling. Seal the top of the cone by pinching and folding the edge to ensure the filling is well-enclosed.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few samosas to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 12

Remove the samosas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 13

Serve the coconut samosas warm as a delicious snack or dessert.
