Corn And Pea Samosas In Caraway Seed Pastry - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
    1 tablespoon caraway seeds
    1/2 cup warm water
    Filling:
    1 1/2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
    1/2 small onion, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
    2 teaspoons garam masala
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1/4 teaspoon chile powder
    1/2 cup corn, drained and rinsed
    1/2 cup frozen peas, or to taste
    1/4 cup coconut milk
    1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Preparation
    Sift flour into a bowl. Add ghee and caraway seeds. Mix and gradually stir in enough water to form a firm dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
    Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chile powder. Cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, peas, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Remove filling from heat and cool to room temperature.
    Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into 3 3/4-inch rounds and place a rounded teaspoon of filling into the center of each round. Brush edges with water and press together using your finger or a samosa presser.
    Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deep-fry samosas until browned, about 5 minutes per batch.
