This is another great street food around the Dakshineshwar Kali Goddess temple in Bengal. The samosas are fried in Vanaspati (Dalda) and are super crispy and has that extra flavor . At home I fry in vegetable oil. But there is something special about the filling which is simple not too spicy and bursting with flavors. Today I am going to share the recipe of a samosa which I had in the Bankura district of Bengal I have been recently. The filling contained fried groundnuts and coconut pieces.

     

Making the filling

• First peel the potatoes and wash the vegetables in water.
• chop the potatoes and cauliflower into small pieces.
• In the wok add a tbsp. of oil and add Nigel seeds.
• Fry the groundnuts and coconut pieces
• Add the vegetables and sauté it.
• Add the turmeric powder, cumin powder and salt and stir.
• Add salt and little water and cover cook till the vegetables are and the mixture is dry and is ready to leave the sides of the pan.
• Add green chilies and cook for some times.
• take out the mixture and let it cool.
• Heat the oil on medium heat
• Add the prepared samosas into slightly hot oil keeping over medium flame and let it cook slowly.
