1 tb Corn oil
1 md Onion; chopped
1 Garlic clove; chopped
1 Potato; peeled

1/2 c Cauliflower (chopped)
1 Carrot; chopped (1/2 C.)

1 c Corn oil, for deep-frying
Mix the meal, egg and salt together, adding just
enough water to make a moist dough that holds
together. Set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet, add
the onion and garlic, and stir-fry over moderate heat
until light brown, about 3 min. Set aside. Take the
potato and 1/2 C. each of any other 3 vegetables and
blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well. Add
these to the pan with the onion and garlic and
stir-fry over moderate heat for 3 minutes, to mix
well. Add salt and pepper. Cool. Take 1 heaping T. of
the dough and press it out on a flat surface into a 2

the bottom half of the square and fold it over into a
triangle. Prepare all the samoosi this way. Heat the
oil in a wok or skillet and brown the turnovers over
moderate heat for about 3 minutes. Drain on paper
towels. Serve warm. Makes about 20 turnovers.
