Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon, crushed Coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until crumbly.

Step 2

Gradually add water, mixing it in with your hands until a stiff dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 3

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds and crushed coriander seeds, sautéing until aromatic, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add chopped onions and green chilies to the pan, sauté until the onions become translucent, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add grated ginger, turmeric powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the spices.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll out each ball into a thin oval shape.

Step 9

Cut each oval in half to form two pieces. Take one semicircle, form a cone by bringing the straight edges together, and seal the edge with a little water.

Step 10

Fill the cone with a spoonful of the onion mixture, then seal the top of the cone with a little more water to close the samosa.

Step 11

Repeat the process for all the samosas.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 14

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 15

Serve warm with your choice of low sodium dip or chutney.
