taco shells made w/ samosa dough - serve w/ a table top of filling let people invent!
IngredientsMakes: 388g (20)
496gopen samosa dough(recipe below)
120gveg oil
Method
Plus oil for frying . . . 120g is the oil soaked into the taco shells
Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll one out into a rough square.
Cut 4 circles 12cm in diameter out of the dough.
Make one a ball from the off cuts and roll it out to make one more circle.
Use a fork to prick lots of small holes into each circle.
- this stops large bubbles forming and gives evenly distributed small bubbles.
Fry the discs one at a time in veg oil on a high heat until they start to bubble turning once - take CARE turning them in the hot oil.
Using tongs remove the taco onto a tea towel covered w/ kitchen towel, wrap the taco around a wooden spoon or thin rolling pin while it is still hot.
Place to one side to cool. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
Reform the offcuts to get two more tacos.
