Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 30 grams
• Water - 50 ml
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Khoya (dried milk) - 100 grams
• Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds) - 30 grams
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil (for frying) - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and ghee, and mix until crumbly.
2. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. In a pan, heat a little ghee and add khoya, stirring until it melts. Add sugar, chopped nuts, and cardamom powder, and mix well until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, then cut it in half to form two semi-circles.
5. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with a little water.
6. Fill the cone with the khoya mixture and seal the open edge by pressing it firmly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. In a deep pan, heat oil for frying. Once hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the samosas and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
