Indian samosas ~ anyone?

I made these Indian samosas ,which I love, for my kiddo and she absolutely loves it as well.

It's an easy but a loads of calorie snack, which I don't mind giving to my 3 year old baby sometimes.

Cooking time~ 15-20 min 

Ingredients ~
Refined flour - 4 tbsp
Cooking oil - 1 cup  (for frying)
Water to kneed the dough
Salt to taste.
Potato 1/2

Method~
Potato filling
Step 1- Boil potatoes
Step 2- Take a potato and cut them into small pieces.
Step 3- Take a pan and put it on the burner. Put 2 tsp of oil, add a 5-6 cumin seeds. Let them roast for a few seconds.Then add cut potatoes and add salt to it.
Step 4- Let it cook on slow flame till potatoes turn golden brown.

Outer crust
Step 1- Put the flour in the bowl. Add 3 tsp oil. Try and kneed the dough. It should look crumbly by now. Add a pinch of salt(1/10 tsp) and (1/10 tsp) baking soda.
Step2- Then slowly add a bit of water, only enough to make the dough smooth.
Leave it covered( with a cloth) for 15minutes  till then check your potatoes.

Final samosas
Step 1- Make 2 small balls of the dough.
Step 2- Roll it with a rolling pin to make it a circle. Cut the circle into half with the knife, like a D. 
Step 3- Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl.
Step 4- Put a spoon of mashed potatoes on the D, small portion only so that you can fold the dough and not let potatoes come out.
Step 5 - Fold the D in such a way that you make a triangle by making sure that the potatoes remain inside. :)
Step 6- You have to seal the sides  by pinching the sides together gently and no potatoes should come out.
Step 7- Put a frying pan on the burner and put 5-6tbsp of oil in it. Heat the oil. Put the triangle and let it fry until it turns golden brown.

Happy mommying!!

Ignorance is bliss!!

Pigeon- feeding dish

I had ordered this online and I was actually amazed by its usefulness and its simplicity.

The bowl has two sections, one for food and the second one for grinding the food. The spoon is latched on to the cover thus you wont lose the spoon easily. It comes with a small spoon and small section for food thus its ideal for babies who have just started the food( 8-10month+ baby food).

Food Type- Food which are easily mashable, like fruits or boiled veges etc
Age- 9month+
Usefulness- Very handy

Happy Mommying!!
