This is a favorite south Indian poriyal made out of beetroot and coconut stuffed, into a samosa.
- Take some oil in a pan and when it gets hot, add mustard seeds and when they splutter, add cumin seeds, finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, once these are salted then add finely chopped beetroot and green peas.
- Add fennel seed powder, salt, freshly grated coconut and stir well. Allow this to cook. Add a pinch of garam masala, mix and cook for few mins.
- Add finely chopped coriander leaves, puffed rice, mix well and switch off the flame. Transfer this mixture to a plate and allow it to cool.
- Take 2 cups of all-purpose flour in another bowl, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour, a little salt, and oil. Add a little water, mix and make a soft dough.
- Cover the dough with a wet cloth and rest it for 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into smaller portions and again cover and rest it for 15 minutes.
- Spread some flour on the table and with help of the rolling pin, roll the dough into a very thin sheet.
- Heat a tawa and once the tawa is really hot, place the roti and just fry it on both sides for just a few seconds.
- Remove and trim the edges and cut them into long strips. Cut the long strips into two and wrap them in a wet cloth.
- Take a thin strip and fold the strip into a triangle shape and stuff the beetroot and coconut mixture inside. Apply some maida paste on one side of the sheet and seal the edges well.
- Deep fry these samosas in hot oil until they are crisp and golden in color.
