A Burst of Sweetness: Corn and Peas

Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the filling. While traditional samosas often feature savory ingredients like potatoes and spices, our corn and pea samosas take a different approach.

How to Make Corn and Pea Samosas in Caraway Seed Pastry

Step 1Prepare the Caraway Seed Pastry

The first step in creating these delightful samosas is making the caraway seed pastry. The combination of all-purpose flour, caraway seeds, and oil creates a dough that is both elastic and flavorful. Roll out the dough and cut it into small circles – these will be the wrappers for your samosas.

While the pastry is resting, it's time to prepare the filling. In a pan, sauté the corn kernels and peas until they are tender. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and any other spices of your choice to enhance the flavors. Once the filling is ready, set it aside to cool.

Step 3Assemble and Fry

Now comes the fun part – assembling the samosas. Take a pastry circle and spoon a generous amount of the corn and pea filling onto one side. Fold the other side over, sealing the edges with a little water. Repeat this process until all your samosas are ready.

Once your samosas are assembled, heat oil in a deep pan and fry them until they turn golden brown. The crispy exterior will contrast perfectly with the sweet and savory filling, creating a taste sensation in every bite.
