Pizza Samosa Recipe
The pizza samosa contains Wheat flour or maida
flour shell stuffed with some filling, generally a mixture of vegies, cheese
and some sauce , sealed and deep fried.
The entire pastry is then deep-fried to a golden brown color, in vegetable oil.
It is served hot and is often eaten with fresh Indian chutney, such as mint,
coriander or tamarind.
In Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya

of India, a bigger version of the samosa with a spicy filling of masala
potatoes, peas, crushed green chillies, and even dried fruits, as well as other
variations, is quite popular. The samosa is bigger compared to other Indian and foreign variant.

Method:
- Step 1:Making Dough
· Take a bowl or plate and add
All-Purpose-Flour,curd, oregano, Salt 1/2 tsp and 3Tbsp Oil.
· Mix it well. Do NOT add water yet. The idea is to mix Oil with flour first.
· Once Oil and flour gel with each other, add small amount of water gradually and knead to make a dough. We would use approximately 1/4 cup of water in kneading this dough.
· Keep kneading the dough. No need to add more water. Just wet your palm with water, if you feel that dough is not sticking.
· We have spent approximately 5 minutes in kneading this dough and it is ready now.
· The dough is quite smooth and we cannot see any visible breaks in its consistency. This is the indication of its readiness.
· Cover it with a cotton cloth and keep aside. We will make the Potato filling for Samosa now.
· Mix it well. Do NOT add water yet. The idea is to mix Oil with flour first.
· Once Oil and flour gel with each other, add small amount of water gradually and knead to make a dough. We would use approximately 1/4 cup of water in kneading this dough.
· Keep kneading the dough. No need to add more water. Just wet your palm with water, if you feel that dough is not sticking.
· We have spent approximately 5 minutes in kneading this dough and it is ready now.
· The dough is quite smooth and we cannot see any visible breaks in its consistency. This is the indication of its readiness.
· Cover it with a cotton cloth and keep aside. We will make the Potato filling for Samosa now.
Step-2:Making Stuffing
· Take a pan and add 2Tbsp of Oil. Heat it on high flame for 30 seconds.
· Once hot, add Cumin seeds and wait till they get golden brown in colour. It would take approximately 30 seconds.Add green chilly,grated ginger garlic and saute for few sec.
· Add chopped onion and saute well ,then add capsicum,carrot mix well and cover it for 5 min.on low flame.
· Remove the lid ,stir the vegetables.
· Add red chilly powder,oregano or mixed herb,salt as required,stir well.
· Take 1 tbsp.cornflour and add 1 tbsp.soy sauce,2 tbsp. tomato ketchup mix well and put it in pan and mix well.
· Stir well,After 1 or 2 min.switch off the flame.
· Pour this mixture into a bowl then add 1 tbsp. of pizza sauce and mix well,then add grated cheese and mix well.
· Spicy mixture is now ready. Keep it aside to cool down to room temperature about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Rolling Samosa Outer Cone
· We can make 2 Samosas with 1 flat-bread. Hence, divide it into two portions with a knife.
· Now, we will use one semi-circle at a time. Keep the circular portion of the semi-circle facing your eye. Pick any one of the straight sides and fold it over.
· Dip your index finger in water and apply it on gently on this straight flipped corner. The idea is to make the other straight end stick to it using water, thereby giving it a conical shape.
· Place the other end on top of this to make two ends stick to each other. Press it lightly so make them stick together.
· Now, hold the cone in your palm ,Fill the mixture about 1.5 tsp. Do NOT add too much mixture as it might break the Samosa skin while frying.
· You have to once again dip your index finger in water and apply it gently on the circular cone’s edge.
· Close the cone and press it with your fingers to lock the mixture inside.
· Make sure that there is no opening in the cone's edge else the mixture might come out while frying.
· Take a deep frying pan and fill it 75% with
Oil. This amount of Oil is specifically required to avoid the red/brown patches
on the Samosa skin.· Another point to keep in mind is that we have
to heat the Oil on high flame first. It would take about 5 minutes to reach the
desired level of hotness. Once hot, turn the stove on medium.· Samosa needs to be fried on low flame only. If
you fry it on high flame, they might get pimples on their skin!!· Add Samosas in the hot Oil on low flame. You
can add as many as your pan can hold at a time for frying. There is virtually
no limit· Let them fry on low flame until they turn
light golden brown in color.· Initially, when you add them to frying pan,
they would probably run down to bottom of pan.· Keep turning them upside down frequently to
achieve even color on all sides. After 15-20 minutes of frying, the Samosas
would turn light golden brown. Take them out of frying pan.Pizza Samosas are
perfectly ready to serve hot!
