Add extra flour, as needed, to keep the dough from being sticky. The dough will be quite soft. Knead in bowl for about 5 minutes. Cover tightly and refrigerate till you are ready to assemble the pastries. 2 large potatoes (the size of a large person's fist) 1 Tbs. butter 1 Cup finely minced onion 2 medium cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbs. freshly grated ginger 1 tsp. mustard seeds 1 tsp. dried coriander (if available) 3/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups uncooked green peas 2 Tbs. lemon juice Cayenne, to taste. Mash the potatoes (i.e. peel, cut into 1-inch squares, boil, drain and mash.) Set aside. Melt the butter and saute onions, garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, coriander and salt over medium heat for about 8 minutes, till onions are soft. Add this to the mashed potatoes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before filling the pastries. 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 3 Tbs. brown sugar 1 small clove garlic, minced 1 tsp. salt Place all ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir till the sugar dissolves. Heat to boiling, then let simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. It reduce slightly. Serve warm or at room temp. Preheat the oven to 425F. Generously oil a baking sheet. Keep a small container of flour, a fork, a small bowl of water, and a pastry brush close at hand. Flour a clean surface, and, using a rolling pin, rook 1-inch balls of dough into 5-inch circles. Place app. 1 1/2 Tbs. filling in the center and fold over, like a turnover. Brush the inside edges of each circle with a little water, and fold the edges together to make a small hem. Crimp the edges firmly with fork. Place the samosas on the oiled baking sheet. Brush the tops with oil. Bake 15 minutes at 425F, then reduce heat to 375F and bake 10 min. more. For maximum crispiness, turn the samosas over when you turn the oven down. 5) Serve within 15 min. with dipping sauce.
