How To Make Samosa Patti

Ingredients

• 1 cup refined flour (maida) + for dusting
• 3 tablespoons oil + for applying
• Salt to taste

Method

1. Heat oil in a small pan.
2. Take refined flour in a large bowl. Add salt and the hot oil and mix till the mixture comes together.
3. Add ¼ cup water, little by little, and knead to a soft dough. Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
5. Place a dough ball on a worktop and dust with some refined flour. Roll into a small disc. Apply oil and generously and dust some refined flour over it.  Place this on a plate.
6. Dust the worktop with some refined flour again and place another dough ball on it. Roll it into a small disc. Repeat this process one more time with another dough ball.
7. Place the first disc over the second one with the flour side facing each other. Similarly, place the third disc with the flour side facing down over the sandwiched discs. Dust some flour on top and roll it into a large thin disc.  Similarly process the remaining dough balls.
8. Heat a non-stick tawa. Place the sandwiched discs and cook on low heat for a few minutes while rotating it on the tawa to ensure the discs are uniformly semi-cooked. Flip and cook the other side for a few minutes as well. Carefully separate the layers and place a worktop. 
9. Trim the sides and cut into 24cm x 8cm sized thick strips. Carefully place them in a zip lock bag and keep them in the freezer. Thaw them whenever you want to make samosas.
