SLC26-W5 // "Fried Appetizers"

_{This is @shabiha-jahan, from #Bangladesh 🇧🇩}

Assalamu Alaikum Everyone. I hope everyone is well by the grace of Allah, I am also well Alhamdulillah. Today I have come to participate in the fifth week of the steemit challenge slc-s26/w5 organized by the honorable teacher @suboohi madam. I am happy to participate in this wonderful challenge.

Fried appetizers are small dishes, or starters, that are prepared to whet the appetite before a meal. They are foods such as vegetables, seafood, or meat that are deep-fried or shallow-fried in hot oil to create a crunchy texture. Examples include mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, arancini (fried risotto balls), and vegetable tempura, which provide a satisfying crunch and rich flavor to the dining experience.
The main purpose of a fried appetizer is to whet people's appetite before the main course, usually served before the main course. It is cooked in hot fat or oil, either completely submerged (deep-fried) or in a shallow layer (shallow-fried). One of its main characteristics is the crunchy, crumbly texture created by the frying process. Often savory, though sweet fried appetizers are also available. A wide range of ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, seafood, meat, and even desserts can be included.

First, mix the flour with black cumin and salt well. Then, mix it well with the required amount of oil and add water little by little to make a dough. Then, let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

First, mash the potatoes. Then, add chopped onion and green chilies to it and add the remaining spices. Then, mix them together well.

Now, take small balls from the dough, roll them out long and divide them into equal parts in the middle.

Now I will take one portion and make it like a triangular pocket, then I will put the potato filling inside it and close the somocha well.

I will make all the samochas in the same way.

Now I will put a pan on the stove and add a lot of oil to it, then when the oil is a little hot, I will add the samochas one by one. I will continue to fry the samochas until they turn golden in color, when they turn golden in color, I will drain the oil from the pan and take them in a bowl.

Now I will serve the samochas according to my own taste. I have also added a note with my name here.

Finally, I took a selfie with the recipe I made.

One of my favorite fried appetizers is Puli Pitha. Puli pitha is a fried food, but it is not always prepared as a fried appetizer, as it can also be a sweet or savory filled pitha that is steamed or baked. "Fried Puli Pitha" is a popular recipe, where a dough made of rice flour or flour is deep-fried with coconut or other fillings.

There are two ways to make Puli Pitha:
One is to fry it in oil and add coconut, jaggery or other sweet fillings. Another is that some Puli Pitha can be steamed or prepared in other ways, such as gram dal Puli Pitha, which is a savory type of pitha. So, Puli Pitha is a type of food that can be fried, and can also be prepared in other ways.
There are also some other fried appetizers that I like to eat, such as: fried pickles, singara, fried chops, spring rolls, crispy chicken, etc.
