Notes
Ragda
- sautรฉ masala in oil gives nice color to ragda.
- pressure cook white chickpeas on medium heat so they will be properly cooked.
- the consistency of ragda is slightly watery, so rasa is absorbed into the samosa.
- rub ghee with your fingers until it is well incorporated with the flour.
If flour forms a shape between your palm means oil is enough and well incorporated. - make stiff and smooth dough; do not make a soft dough.
- potato stuffing of samosa must be dry.
- do not use dry flour while rolling the samosa.
- seal samosa with little water.
- fry samosa on low-medium heat.
