Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cup dark chocolate
  • 2 cups refined oil

For Filling

  • 2 1/2 tablespoon pistachios
  • 8 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 2 cup sugar

For Dough

  • 4 tablespoon ghee
  • Kneaded dough for samosa

Instructions

  1. Melt dark chocolate in a bowl. In a separate bowl, add caster sugar, all-purpose flour, ghee, and mix. Mix all the ingredients until the mixture gets a crumbly texture. Pour sufficient water and knead a partially rigid dough. Place the dough in a bowl and refrigerate for 7-8 minutes.
  2. For the filling, mix pistachios and melted dark chocolate along with the remaining caster sugar. Place a saucepan over medium flame and heat 2 cups of water in it. Add sugar and heat until the sugar dissolves. It should have a thick consistency. Once done, take it off the flame.
  3. Take small portions from the dough and roll small size chapattis out of these. The size must be something that fits in the palm of your hand easily. Make sure that the small-sized chapattis are not too soft or hard.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of the chocolate-pistachio filling inside the chapattis. Seal the chapattis from the outside to make a samosa.
  5. In a deep-bottomed pan, heat refined oil over medium flame and deep fry the samosas until they turn golden brown.
