How do you make somosas shaped like a triangle?

Question

I'm not sure how to shape the samosas in to triangles

Answer 1

It's actually quite simple. You need to cut the dough so that you can make them into little cones. After this, wrap the dough around itself so you get a little cone; fill it up with the peas and potatoes and the other masalas. Then, press the top shut so no air can get in/escape. Make sure it is air-tight.

Samosa Recipe

Ingredients

4 large white potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed

1/2 cup boiled and drained green peas

1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp amchoor(mango powder)

1 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp saunf(fennel)powder

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

1 tablespoon chopped cashewnuts

Salt to taste

3 cups maida(all purpose flour)

1/2 cup maida, for rolling out

1 tablespoon heated ghee or oil

Oil for deep frying the samosas

1 tablespoon ghee(clarified butter) for the stuffing

1 small bowl of cold water

Method

Heat the ghee for the stuffing and add the cumin seeds and

cashewnuts.

When the seeds splutter add the dry powders and fry for 10

seconds.

Add the mashed potatoes and green peas and mix well.

Mix in salt to taste.

Fry on a low flame for about 10 minutes.

Set aside.

Prepare the cover for the samosa by combining

the maida, hot ghee or oil and salt to taste.

Add enough water and knead the dough.

Set aside for about 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into round portions.

Take each portion and coat it with some maida so that

it does not stick to your hands.

Roll it into a not too thin perfect round.

With a pizza cutter, make 2 semi circles with the round.

Take one half circle. Dip your index finger into the cold water

and apply it to the straight edge of the semi circle.

Now hold the semicircle in your hand.

Fold the straight edge , bringing together the watered edges.

Seal the watered edges.

You should now have a small triangular maida pocket.

Stuff it with the potato mixture and now water-seal the

upper edges.

Repeat for the rest of the dough.

Deep fry in oil till golden brown and serve

with mint chutney.

Do not overheat the oil, since this will cook only the

outer maida covering and the inner layer will remain

ncooked even if the samosa has turned dark brown

on the outside.

Answer 7

You can buy samosa strips. They are rectangle shaped. The length will be a lot longer than the breadth. fold it lengthwise and find the middle. Now take the upper left corner and fold it along the middle so that it forms one side of the triangle. Do the same with the upper right corner. Slightly over lap the two folds. Put the filling in the pouch that forms. Close it by pressing down and cut the excess off.

Answer 8

Roll the patty(dough) to an oval shape. Cut it in the middle of the elongated patty.

From the centre of the patty triangular shaped samosa are made.
