| Yield: | 18 samosas |
Ingredients
- 130 grams all-purpose flour (about 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus for drizzling
- 1/4 teaspoon ajwain seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon nigella seeds
- About 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 very small red onion, finely diced
- 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
- One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and julienned
- One 1-inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 3 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons frozen peas
- Kosher salt
- 1 russet potato, cooked, peeled and mashed
- 1 cup cubed cooked turkey or rotisserie chicken (1/2-inch cubes)
- Lime juice, for sprinkling
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for sprinkling
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves and soft stems
- 1/2 bunch mint, leaves only
- 4 to 5 thin scallions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 small thumb ginger (about 1 inch), peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- Juice of 1 lime
- Juice of 1 Meyer lemon
- 1 serrano chile, chopped (seeds and all!)
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- Neutral oil, for frying
- Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Instructions
- For the pastry: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Rub the grapeseed oil into the flour mixture until well incorporated. Add the ajwain and nigella seeds. Gradually add the water, mixing after each pour, until a smooth dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes. Drizzle the bowl with a little oil; turn the dough to coat. Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside on the counter.
- For the filling: In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute the red onions, chiles, ginger and turmeric in grapeseed oil until softened and slightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cranberries and peas; cook just until the peas are thawed, a couple minutes. Season with salt.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl with the potatoes and turkey and sprinkle with some lime juice and cilantro. Stir together, then taste for seasoning.
- To make the samosas: Heat 3 inches of oil in a Dutch oven over medium until the oil reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
- Divide the dough into 9 balls. Roll each ball into a 5- to 6-inch round. Slice each round into two semicircles. Set up a small bowl with water. Wet the straight edge a semicircle with a little water, then set the semicircle on a work surface with the straight edge facing away from you. Place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle of the semicircle. Fold one corner over the filling, forming a triangle; fold in the other corner to make a cone. Seal the ends with water, pinching and folding the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining semicircles.
- Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet on a paper-towel lined plate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- For the green chutney: Add all the ingredients except for the creme fraiche to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add the creme fraiche and blend until incorporated.
- Serve the samosas hot or at room temperature with the chutney.
Reviews
So 9 reviews and nothing about making this actual recipe; seriously folks complain as one person did to Foodnetwork.com Now would anyone that’s actually made this would like to tell me their thoughts?
I loved the recipes from the Friendsgiving episode and I could only get one recipe. How do I find the other recipes. To make the entire menu I need all the recipes. Please start including all the recipes like you used to, thanks
Agree please post all recipes including the cocktails!
Where are all the recipes? What a poor decision not to post them all. Why would I bother to watch this show in the future if I can’t print recipes I would like to try. It makes no sense Food Network. Please reconsider.
I wanted the other recipes also, so I contacted FoodNetwork.com & was told that not all recipes from this show would be posted. Maybe if enough people complain, they will change their mind. In the meantime I will not be watching this show. Plenty of other good shows with posted recipes.
In all fairness to this recipe, it looks wonderful. I, too, would like to see the other recipes. Is it wrong I wanted the alcohol recipe? :b
Oh my goodness!! I just finished watching Guy’s Friendsgiving show & I could not wait to snatch up ALL of the recipes!! Ummm…. where are they? I do see one. Will they be posted?
I was wondering the same thing. Plus the show isn’t listed. Apparently Guy isn’t cooking at all on his own show; so far anyway, as we see with the Friendsgiving show and also it’s the same according to the info on the next episode.
Me too! I want Alex’s recipe please
How about the other 6 recipes????
