Easy gluten-free samosas are filled with a sweet and spicy chickpea filling that makes you feel like you're travelling through the markets of new Delhi - from the comfort of your own couch.
Add the gluten-free flour mix or the individual flours to the food processor bowl. Pulse briefly to combine if using individual flours. Add salt and baking powder. Cover and process 3 seconds.
Add coconut oil and water and process until mixture forms a ball. You may have to get in there with your hands and just gently knead if your processor is too aggressive.
Dust a large working surface with some gluten-free flour (I like to use potato flour or rice flour for this). This is where you'll be rolling out your samosas, so you want a fairly large area.
Take the dough out of the food processor, and knead it until dough is soft and pliable. Lightly coat in gluten-free flour and wrap in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate samosa dough for 30 minutes.
Cover your working area with a piece of parchment paper. Place a dough ball on it. Cover with another piece of parchment paper about the same size. Roll the dough into a thin round about 5 inches in diameter.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the sweet & spicy chickpea filling in the center of the dough. Do not overfill your samosas, no matter how good this filling is, as it'll spill out when you try to close them.
The lazy way: Half moons: Wet the edges of the dough with water and overlap one side of the dough over the filling. Your dough should form a closed half-moon. Crimp the edges to close.
Working from the right side, pull one side of the dough over the filling and towards the middle. Stop just left of the middle and do not go all the way to the left. Then pull the left side of the dough and fold it over the right.
Fry the samosas:
Fill a large pan with wide, tall rims with 1 inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully test the oil temperature with a drop of water; the oil is ready when the water sizzles.
Working in batches, fry several samosas at a time. Try not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each samosa about 2-3 minutes on each side, until its colours becomes golden-brown and they crisp up. Remove samosas onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
