Ingredients for Warqi Casing

Refined Flour/Maida – 250 g

Salt – 1/2 tsp

Water for kneading

Ghee – 2 tbsp, melted

Ghee for smearing

Some extra maida for sprinkling

Method for Casing

Mix the flour, salt and ghee. Rub together. Add water and make a firm dough. Cover and let rest. Make 2 inch balls with the dough. Lightly flour a surface and roll each ball in a chapatti shape into 3 inches in diameter.

Lay one of the rotis flat on a lightly floured surface. Spread some ghee on the roti and sprinkle some maida. Do this with 3 rotis. After placing the 4th roti on top, roll into a larger roti of about 7 inches.

Cut this roti into 4 equal parts. Make a paste out of some maida and water. Spread this flour paste along the edges of one of the four parts. Fold into a cone with one mouth open to put the stuffing in.

Method for Samosa

Put the stuffing in the cone through the opening. Shut the top flap over the stuffing. Press the edges tightly so as to ensure that it doesn’t open up during frying. Heat oil in a kadhai. Deep fry 4 samosas at a time. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid the oil cooling down too much. Fry till lightly browned. Serve hot with green chutney and tamarind chutney
