Dough Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black onion seeds (nigella)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
7 tablespoons warm water
3 tablespoons ghee
2 tablespoons Greek/strained yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups spinach leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 oz. pepper jack cheese, grated
1 cup cooked pasta
salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat butter in a pot.  When it starts to melt, add the flour and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly until it turns golden.  Add milk, paprika, oregano and mustard. Mix well and cook until roux (butter-flour mixture) has dissolved into the milk and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Turn off flame and stir in cheese until it melts. Add spinach mixture and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well.
• Add cooked pasta and mix well, so the pasta is well coated with cheese sauce.
• Knead the dough again after 20 minutes. Equally divide the dough into two portions. Now divide one portion into three parts. Take one dough ball and roll into a round shape.
• Divide the rolled sheet into two equal halves.
• Lift one part and apply some water on the inner side and fold into a cone shape.
• Stuff this cone with 1 to 2 tsp filling and stick the upper edges together with some water. Similarly prepare all the samosas and place them erect on a plate.
