This recipe for freshly fried samosas filled with tasty spiced crab makes a dangerously irresistible snack that's sure to vanish quickly! Ideal for a drinks party. Ingredients:
vegetable oil, for deep-frying |
1 teaspoon mustard seeds |
6 -8 curry leaves |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 teaspoon ginger paste |
2 teaspoons green chilies, finely chopped |
8 ounces fresh crabmeat, flaked (thawed if frozen) |
salt |
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped |
24 sheets phyllo pastry |
1/4 cup water |
4 ounces flour |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Fry the mustard seeds, curry leaves, ground turmeric and ginger paste, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant.
2. Add the crab meat, salt and chopped cilantro, mixing well, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
3. Mix together the water and flour to make a flour paste.
4. Fold a pastry sheet over to make a strip. Place a portion of the crab mixture in one corner of the pastry strip and fold the pastry over into a triangle. Fold the triangle along the strip, sealing the edges with the flour paste.
5. Repeat the process making 24 samosas in all.
6. Heat the oil for deep frying in a deep fat-fryer or wok until very hot. Fry the samosas in batches until golden-brown, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
7. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
