Ingredients
  

  • Here’s a list of ingredients you will need:
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • Oil for frying, as needed
  • ½ cup Cheese optional, grated
  • 1 tbsp Herbs optional, chopped
  • 1 cup Cooked vegetables or meats optional, chopped

Equipment

  • To make frying saucers, you'll need the following equipment:
  • Mixing bowl for combining the dough ingredients
  • Rolling pin to roll out the dough
  • Frying pan or deep fryer for frying the saucers
  • Slotted spoon for removing saucers from the oil
  • Plate with paper towels for draining excess oil
  • Measuring cups and spoons (for accurate ingredient measurements)
  • Knife or grater for chopping or grating the filling ingredients

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add water, mixing until the dough becomes smooth and soft. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: If you're using cheese, cooked vegetables, or meats, combine them in a separate bowl. Add herbs or spices for additional flavor if desired.
  3. Shape the Saucers: Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin disc using a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc, leaving some space around the edges.
  4. Seal and Fry: Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape or pouch. Press the edges together firmly to seal them. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the saucers until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  5. Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the saucers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Filling Options: Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as mashed potatoes, spiced vegetables, or minced meat. You can also add cheese, herbs, or spices for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Leftover frying saucers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. To keep them crispy, reheat them in an oven or air fryer.
  • Frying Tips: Ensure the oil is heated to the right temperature (around 350°F or 175°C). If the oil is too cold, the saucers may absorb excess oil and become greasy.
  • Serving Suggestions: Frying saucers are best enjoyed with dipping sauces like mint yogurt, tamarind chutney, or a spicy mayo.
