How to Make Coconut Patti Samosas

• Make dough with 250 g flour, a tsp of salt and sufficient amount of water, as for chapattis.
• Now make a paste with 5 tbsp flour and 6 tbsp oil.
• Divide the dough into small portions
• Take 1 portion and roll to the size of a puri.
• Apply the flour paste well on the entire rolled out portion.
• Take another portion of the dough and roll out once more like a puri.
• Stick this rolled out portion on top of the first puri over which the paste has been applied.
• Now roll out these cut portions together into a big chapatti.
• Heat the tava slightly. Put the chapatti on it.
• After a couple of seconds, flip the side.
• Leave on the tava for a couple of seconds more and then remove.
• Separate the 2 chapattis immediately so as to get 2 chappathis out of one
• Cut the rounded sides so as to get a rectangular patti.
• Cut each chapatti into halves or more depending on the size of the samosas you want.
• Repeat the same with the remaining portions of dough.
• Take each patti (strip).
• Make a cone shape, fill it with 2 tbsp of the vegetable stuffing and seal the edge with a flour paste (made with little flour and some water).
• Deep fry and serve.
• For the Filling:
• Chop the French beans, carrots, onions and green chillies very finely.
• Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel and add the mustard seeds.
• When the mustard seeds start to splutter, add asafoetida powder and green chillies.
• Fry for a couple of sec and add the onion.
• When the onion turns a little pink in colour, put in the vegetables.
• Stir frequently till the vegetables are a little tender.
• Add salt to taste.
• Finally add the grated coconut and cook for a while.
