Portion servings: 5-6 pax
Preparation time: 05 mins
Cooking time: 80 mins
Ingredients:
Oil 2 tbsp
Peanuts ¼ cup
Panch phoran 1 tsp
Hing ½ tsp
Green chilli chopped 1 tsp
Ginger chopped 1 tsp
Green peas ½ cup
Turmeric powder ½ tsp
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Red chilli powder ½ tsp
Splash of water
Potato boiled & peeled 2-3 pcs
Black salt 1 tsp
Jeera powder ½ tsp
Bengali garam masala 1 tsp
Fried peanuts
Coriander chopped 1 tbsp
For singara dough:
Refined flour 2 cups
Salt 1 tsp
Ajwain ½ tsp
Kalonji 1 tsp
Oil 3 tbsp
Water as required
Oil for frying
Method:
1. Preparing the Filling
Heat oil in a pan and add peanuts.
Fry until crisp, then remove and keep aside.
In the same oil, add panch phoran and let it crackle.
Add hing, chopped green chilli, and ginger. Sauté briefly until aromatic.
Add green peas and cook for a minute.
Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chilli powder.
Mix well and sprinkle a little water so the masala cooks evenly without burning.
Add boiled and peeled potatoes.
Lightly mash them while mixing, keeping some texture for a rustic filling.
Add black salt and jeera powder, and mix well.
Cook for a couple of minutes so everything binds together.
Finish with Bengali garam masala, fried peanuts, and chopped coriander.
Mix well and let the filling cool completely before shaping.
2. Preparing the Dough
In a bowl, combine refined flour, salt, ajwain, and kalonji.
Add oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles a crumbly texture—this ensures a crispy outer layer.
Add water gradually and knead into a firm dough (tighter than roti dough).
Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
3. Shaping the Mini Singara
Divide the dough into small portions.
Roll each into a small oval or circle.
Cut into halves to form semi-circles.
Take one half, shape it into a cone by sealing the straight edge with a little water.
Fill with the prepared potato mixture.
Seal the top edge tightly, ensuring there are no openings.
Keep the size small for bite-sized singaras.
4. Frying
Heat oil on medium-low flame. Add the singaras in batches and fry slowly.
Keep the flame low to medium so they cook evenly and turn crisp from outside without forming bubbles.
Fry until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain excess oil.
Serve hot mini singaras with kasundi or green chutney.
The filling should be spicy, slightly tangy, and nutty, while the outer layer remains crisp and flaky—perfect for tea-time snacks.
