Samoosi Yirakot (Stuffed Vegetable Turnovers)

Directions

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 ½ cup each of any other 3 vegetables 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 teaspoon of the dough and press it out on a flat surface into a 2½ inch square.

Put 1 teaspoon 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.
