Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dough:
1 cup Fine matzoh meal
1 Egg -- beaten
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Cold water -- approx.
Filling:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium Onion -- chopped
1 Garlic clove -- chopped
1 Potato -- peeled - cut into small pieces
1/2 cup Cauliflower -- (chopped)
1 Carrot -- chopped (1/2 C.)
1/2 cup Green peas -- fresh or frozen
1/2 cup Thin-sliced green beans
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
To fry: -- 1 cup vegetable oil for deep-frying

Mix the meal, egg and salt together, adding just enough water to make a moist dough that holds together. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet, add the onion and garlic, and stir-fry over moderate heat until light brown, about 3 min. Set aside.

Take the potato and 1/2 C. each of any other 3 vegetables (cauliflower, carrot, green peas, or green beans) and blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well. Add these to the pan with the onion and garlic and stir-fry over moderate heat for 3 minutes, to mix well. Add salt and pepper. Cool.

Take 1 heaping T. of the dough and press it out on a flat surface into a 2 1/2 inch square. Put 1 T. of the vegetable mixture on the bottom half of the square and fold it over into a triangle. Prepare all the samoosi this way. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet and brown the turnovers over moderate heat for about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Makes about 20 turnovers.

ChupaNote: save your self some time and use wontons wrappers. If you prefer to bake them, preheat the oven to 425F. Spa
