Chocolate samosa

The old and very famous Indian snack with a chocolaty twist. Don't worry it will be low on calories as we will bake the samosa instead of deep frying.

Ingredients

Flour (maida) - 150 gm.
Carom seeds (ajwain) - 1 tsp
Sugar - powdered - 2 tsp
Chocolate - sliced - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Saffron - just a pinch

Method

Take the flour, carom seeds and powdered sugar in a bowl and knead them, till it becomes a complete dough. (you can use ghee/ water for kneading the dough.)  
Take small parts of the dough and roll them till they flatten (like you do to make a roti).
Cut it into two halves and fill it with chocolate and close it in the shape of a samosa.(don't fill too much of chocolate inside.)
Put your samosas on a baking tray and lightly spread some butter and ghee on it.
Bake the samosas in the oven at 200C for about 12-15 minutes.
Till then prepare the sugar syrup. In a pan heat sugar and water till it becomes a clear solution, avoid overheating of the sugar. Add the saffron in it.
When your samosas turn golden brown and are completely baked, dip them in the sugar syrup.
Pour some chocolate syrup on them and serve hot.
