Relish the Bond of Love: Nourishing Treats for Raksha Bandhan

For the samosa dough:

• Combine khapli flour, A2 ghee, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
• Mix well until the flour resembles breadcrumbs.
• Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough.
• Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

For the samosa filling:

• Heat cold-pressed coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Add grated ginger and green chili.
• Add the mixed vegetables and cook until they are slightly tender.
• Stir in turmeric powder, ground coriander, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are fully cooked and the spices are well combined.

To assemble and bake the samosas:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval or circle.
• Cut each rolled dough in half to form two semi-circles.
• Take a semicircle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge using water.
• Fill the cone with the prepared vegetable filling.
• Seal the open edge of the cone to form a triangle-shaped samosa.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling to make more samosas.
• Place the assembled samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Lightly brush the samosas with a few drops of A2 ghee.
• Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Power Tips and Variations:

• A few variations for filling can be A2 paneer and spinach, mushroom, chickpeas filling, lentils and vegetables, and those who are non-vegetarians can opt for minced chicken and eggs too.

• Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
• Add A2 ghee and organic jaggery powder to a mixing bowl. Whisk them together until they reach a fluffy consistency.
• Stir in the cardamom powder, jowar flour, and finely chopped cashew nuts.
• Combine all the ingredients with your hands to form a soft dough.
• Prepare a baking tray by greasing it with a few drops of A2 ghee.
• Take small portions of the dough and roll them into small cookies with your palms.
• Press each ball gently to flatten it, and then place the cookies on the baking tray, leaving some space between them.
• You can also press a whole cashew nut on each cookie for added garnishing and texture.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 20 minutes. If the cookies still feel slightly soft after 20 minutes, bake them for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until they turn golden brown and firm.
• Once the cookies are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack for cooling.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.

Power Tips and Variations:

• Enhance the taste of the cookies with ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract, or grated coconut. These will add a burst of flavor to your jowar cookies.
• Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking, as jowar cookies can turn golden brown quickly. Bake them until they are firm around the edges but are still slightly soft in the center.
