Making of Flower Samosa

-

Hi Guys.In this article I am presenting the making of one of the famous snack food which will look more delicious in coming winter.Snack food you make at home can be made very attractive by shaping them differently. Here I have shaped the Samosas, which are normally made in a triangular shape to a flower shape

Step 1: Make Filling : Boil and Mash Potato

First we will make the filling for Samosas
  • Boil one large sized Potato , remove the skin and mash it

Step 2: Make Filling : Ingredients

  • One Onion chopped
  • 5 Garlic cloves chopped
  • Half Teaspoon of red chilli powder
  • Half a teaspoon of Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoons of Coriander(Dhaniyalu in telugu) powder
  • Half teaspoon of Asafoetida(inguva in telugu) powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 Green chillies chopped
  • A small piece of ginger chopped
  • Few coriander leaves chopped

Step 3: Make Filling

  • Heat oil in a pan and add onion and garlic pieces
  • Add other ingredients to the pan and stir fry till raw smell disappears
  • Lastly add the mashed potato and make the filling
You can make many different kind of fillings. Mashed Potato filling I made here is just for demonstration

Step 4: Roll Batter to Shape

  • Place the already prepared dough on the rolling board and dust lightly with flour
  • Roll and flatten the dough as thin as possible using a roller pin
  • Cut a square piece from the rolled dough

Step 5: Shape Dough Into Flower Shape

  • Take one square piece and fold the corners inside to triangles
  • Turn over the folded piece and place a lemon sized filling inside
  • Bring corners over the filling to center
  • Press all joints and center with fingers without any gap
  • Turn over the piece and pull the folded corners out to make a flower shape
Now our flower shapes are completed

Step 6: Deep Fry and Serve

  • Heat oil in a pan and deep fry each piece separately
  • Turn the pieces in oil for other side to fry
  • Take out from oil and place the samosas in an oil absorbing paper
I have slightly over-fried the first one as I was afraid that the flower shape will break in oil. but the shapes remain during deep frying also.
Make these flower shaped Samosas and serve hot as an evening snack with coffee or tea.

Step 2 in Paper lamps

Step 2: Experiment, experiment, experiment I cut out many circles of paper by hand and experimented to see what I could make them do. The larger paper had a floppy quality and I found that by mixing a bit of elmers glue with water, I could make the paper temporarily flimsy, influence the shape, and let it dry to form a rippled texture. Due to the weight of the paper, the dried vellum had flowing, smooth curves instead of lighter weight paper that will just wrinkle. For the water/glue mix, try your own ratios. I found mostly water and a bit of glue mixed together to a milky solution was perfect (probably a 6 or 8:1 ratio water:glue) and then I just reached my hand in and spread it over the paper, gently coating the surface in a thin layer of liquid. As I was experimenting, I ran out of room on my desk and started stacking up the small circles of paper and realized I really liked the stack. This became the main concept for the lamp.

Making of Rubber Stamps in an easy way

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of. It could even be some text. Just try to avoid an image with very thin lines as these can be difficult to carve, and can bend/collapse under the pressure of stamping down. Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they will st

Scrabble Tiles Ornaments

I saw this idea in a magazine a few years ago and have been on the lookout for a used Scrabble set ever since. If you're a Scrabble/word game nerd like me, they'll be a nice addition to your collection of ornaments. This is a quick and easy little project. Plus, they make great gift ornaments because you can personalize them! First, you will need to find a sacrificial Scrabble game. You can either track one down at a thrift store or yard sale, or use that old set you've got tucked away up in the closet. I guess you could buy a new set to use, but that seems a bit wasteful. The set I eventually found was an old one my mom had, and it was missing a bunch of tiles and one of the trays. Step 1: Arrange Your Words Organize some words you like, making sure they will fit evenly on the trays. I decided to go with shorter words because they looked better as an ornament. Also, you don't have to just use holiday words. If these are to be a gift,
