Chocolate Samosa is an irresistible Indian dessert that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a spiced pastry filled with a sweet chocolate filling, coated in sugar and deep-fried. It is similar to a traditional samosa in shape, but the filling is made of chocolate and the outside is rolled in sugar. The dish is usually served with a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce or a dusting of icing sugar.
The combination of the traditional Indian samosa with the sweetness of chocolate makes it a unique and delicious treat.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup warm water
For the filling:
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions to make:
1. To make the dough, combine the flour, salt, and melted butter in a bowl. Gradually add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it is soft and pliable.
2. To make the filling, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a double boiler. Add the cinnamon and chopped nuts (if using) and mix until combined.
3. To assemble the samosas, roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut into 4-inch circles and place a spoonful of the chocolate filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and press the edges together to seal.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large pot to 375°F. Carefully add the samosas to the oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
5. Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle it with sugar and serve warm.
Whether you are looking for an indulgent dessert or a tasty snack, Chocolate Samosas are sure to tantalize your taste buds. The combination of the crunchy pastry, the sweetness of the chocolate, and the heat from the deep-frying makes this dish truly unique. So, why wait?
