I have been using this eggless cake recipe since a few years now. It can be made into many flavours actually. This never fail recipe is one for keeps.

Lemon and blueberry is a classic combination that is very popular as a cake flavor. I have used fresh lemons in the recipe for their zest and juice, as also dried blueberries.

All ingredients for the cake were at room temperature. I used a stand mixer to blend the liquid ingredients but folded in the dry ingredients gently. As a result the cake turned out to be delicate as always…

Make your tea time special with this cake!

Red Chili powder – ½ tsp

SPICE MIX – ½ tsp

Salt – to taste

Chopped coriander – 1 tbsp

 

 Method:

1.    FOR THE SPICE MIX: Roast all the ingredients on low heat till the spices release their aroma. Cool completely. Grind coarsely. Keep aside.

2.    FOR THE PASTRY DOUGH: In a large bowl, mix the flours, salt and crushed carom seeds. Add in the oil and mix well till it resembles wet sand. Add chilled water a little at a time to form a stiff dough. Knead till smooth. Cover and keep aside for 10 to 15  mins.

3.    FOR THE POTATO FILLING: Crush one boiled potato with a fork. Peel and chop up the rest into small pieces. Heat oil in a pan and temper it with the panch foron (a mix - fennel, fenugreek, mustard, cumin and onion seeds).

4.    Add in the potato, ginger, green chili, SPICE MIX, turmeric, red chili powder and salt. Mix well and cook for a minute. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the chopped coriander and let it cool down completely.

5.    FOR THE EGG FILLING: Cut the boiled eggs lengthwise into 4 or quarters. Sprinkle the salt, chili powder, chaat masala powder, SPICE MIX and chopped coriander. Keep aside.

6.    MAKING AND FILLING THE SAMOSAS: once the dough has been rested, knead lightly and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion into an elongated puri or flat bread that is slightly thick. Cut along the width to get two semicircles.

7.    Place a semicircle with the flat edge on top. Bring down one top corner to make a triangle with the top edge forming a vertical line. Bring the other corner to meet this corner. Apply a little water to the joint and overlap the pastry to seal it. Press down slightly. Now, lift and open up the cone. Hold it between your thumb and index finger with the pointed tip facing down.

8.    Fill a tiny bit of the potato filling. Then place a piece of egg in the center, align it to fit the tip. Fill up the rest of the space with potato filling. Taking the joint as the front, pinch to form a single pleat at the back edge. Then apply a bit of water to the open edge, carefully bring the open end of the together and pinch to seal. Make the samosa sit on its bottom and shape it with your fingers. Repeat with the rest.

9.    Deep fry the samosas in mildly hot oil till they turn crispy.

10. Serve with tomato ketchup or chutney of your choice along with a hot cup of tea.

NOTE: The samosas will have a golden brown colour due to the use of wheat flour in the recipe.
