Instructions for Moong Dal Mini Samosas - Delicious Tea Time Snack

    Method to make the Samosa Dough / Jacket

      1

      To prepare Moong Dal Mini Samosas (Delicious Tea Time Snack), make the samosa jacket by preparing the dough first by mixing together the all-purpose flour with a little cooking oil.

      2

      Follow this by adding in the other ingredients and knead the flour gently by pouring in some lukewarm water. When the dough is soft and pliable, cover it with a moist muslin cloth and keep aside for half an hour to rest.

    Method To Prepare the Filling

      1

      Crush the moong dal namkeen in blender until it forms a coarse powder.

      2

      Next, dry roast all the masalas that will be used for the filling in a pan on medium. When done, mix these with the crushed namkeen, adjust the salt and seasoning as per taste and keep aside.

    Method To Fill The Samosa 

      1

      Now to make the samosas, heat the cooking oil in a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat for deep frying.

      2

      Take the prepared dough and shape it into many small lemon sized balls. Roll each dough ball into small circular shapes (like chapatis).

      3

      Cut each circular disc into 2 equal parts with a knife in the shape of a half moon.

      4

      Now take one half of the circular dough piece, and stick the corners together with the help of water and the corn flour mix, forming a cone shape. Fill this cone with 1 teaspoon of the moong dal filling.

      5

      After filling the cone with the mixture, apply the corn flour mix again to the exposed edges and seal both the corners together by gently pressing them with the fingers.

      6

      Prepare the remaining half circular dough disks in a similar manner and keep them aside.

      7

      When the oil in the pan is sufficiently hot (test by adding one samosa first which will rise to the surface), put about 3-7 samosas into it and fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour.

      8

      Once done, remove the samosas out of the pan and keep them on kitchen paper to drain the excess oil. Fry all the other samosas in a similar manner.

      9

      Your piping hot Mini Moong Dal Samosas are ready to be served with some green chutney or can even be stored in a clean airtight container at room temperature for further use.

    Note:

      1

      The dough for the samosa jacket should be knead for just a few minutes. Use just a little amount of water. It should be soft yet firm. Use just a little amount of filling for the samosa, or else it might burst when being deep-fried.

      2

      The Moong Dal Mini Samosas (Delicious Tea Time Snack) when prepared well, can be stored for as long as 10-15 days, and remain pretty fresh. Serve with date tamarind chutney and green chutney.
