Ingredients
Method
For the cauliflower stuffing
- Heat oil in a pan, throw in the cumin seeds, allow them to sputter.
- Now add the cauliflower florets and green peas, sprinkle in the turmeric powder, saute for 3-4 minutes over a high flame.
- Stir in the ginger paste, add the green chillies, peanuts and raisins, cook over a medium flame for another 6-7 minutes till the cauliflower florets are just tender. (You don’t want the cauliflower to be over-cooked and mushy) Splash a little water if it is getting a wee bit too dry.
- Season with salt, sprinkle the bhaja masala and mix well. Keep aside.
For the singara cases
- Take the plain flour and whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl, sprinkle in the salt, add the vegetable oil. Mix well till the oil is well incorporated into the flour.
- Make a well in the flour, add 1/4 cup of warm water. Gently mix the water and flour and start kneading with your fingers.
- Gradually add more warm water as needed till the dough becomes firm but soft and pliable when rolled. Cover with a damp cloth for 30 odd minutes.
- Divide the dough into medium balls, using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to an oval shape as shown in the picture.
- Cut the oval diagonally just as shown in the picture. Brush the edges with a little water. Bring the straight edges gently together to form a hollow cone.

- Hold the cone in your hand, just like I have done in the picture and fill it with cauliflower stuffing.

- Now press the open mouth of the cone, as in the picture and give it a double fold to seal it. Your singara is now ready to be baked.

- Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough.

- Preheat the oven to 180C. Brush the singaras with a little vegetable oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or till the crust is golden outside.
- Serve hot.
For Bhaja Moshla
- I usually stock up my bhaja masala. Take all the ingredients and roast them patiently over a low flame and then grind to a powder. Stays fresh and aromatic for about a fortnight if kept in an airtight container.
