Ingredients Serving: 4

For Dough - 3 cup Maida or All purpose flour
1 cup Oil or ghee
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Ajwain
1 cup water or as required
For Stuffing - 3/4 cup green moong dal (lentils)
1/2 tbsp ground fennel seeds (saunf)
1 tsp Coriander powder
1/2 tsp red chilly powder
1/2 tbsp dry mango powder (amchoor)
1/4 tsp garam masala
Pinch of Asafoetida (Hing)
1 tbsp salt (adjust to your taste)
1 tbsp Oil
1 1/2 tbsp water
1/2 tbsp ginger paste (Spices can be adjusted according to your taste)
1/2 tbsp green chili paste

Instructions

Take a bowl, add flour, salt and ajwain. Mix well. Add oil and mix together until all the oil is incorporated into the flour. Add water and knead into a smooth firm dough.
Set aside and wrap using cling film or muslin cloth for 20-25 minutes.
Soak dal for 3-4 hours and drain properly. Take a blender, add moong dal, all spices and green chilli paste. Mix well. Blend in a blender and make a thick paste.
Take a pan and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add dal paste in a frying pan and roast on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool off. (If you think the paste is very rigid then add one tablespoon warm water and mix it well and let it sit for 10 minutes)
Divide dough in to equal small balls. Roll out each portion in to thin oval shape. Divide the oval into two. Lift one side of the flat edge and brush plain water on it.
Lift the opposite side and overlap the edges to form a cone shape. Press the edges gently. Stuff the dal mixture into the cone. Seal top edge gently.
Preheat the oven at 350 degree (F). Now take any oven tray or plate, grease with little oil. Put all samosas on baking tray and keep the tray in oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the samosas and put it back in.
Serve hot with the green chutney or tamarind chutney or sweet chutney.
