Samosa | How to make crispy samosa
Written by Jayashree

Samosa are an all time favourite snack relished by young and old alike. Crispy, triangular shaped,  filled with tasty fillings and deep fried make sumptuous snack to devour anytime. Love the idea of a samosa for a weekend when children can eat and enjoy their favourite serial, isn’t it? 

The filling of a samosa can be of many kind. The most popular one is the potato filling. Mixed vegetables along with boiled potatoes makes a good option. The recent trending ones are the corn samosa, paneer samosa and the dry fruit samosa.

Oh… do samosas normally have amchur powder or do you add it to yours? I’m in India and I love buying samosas here and there when I’m out, but I’ve developed an amchur powder allergy. Of course the nice thing about homemade is I can just leave it out.

The samosas are so nice and crisp, perfect with masala chai. I like your version with wheat flour.

Potato and peas samosas are classic! Hot samosas with chai is a perfect combo to enjoy on a relaxed evening

I’ve yet to come across anyone who doesn’t like samosa. If you ever get a chance you’ve got to taste the dry fruit ones that are made at the ISKCON in Juhu, they are really delicious. Now am tempted to make these kind of samosas.

this classic filling combination is such a great party pleaser. No one can say no to these classic delicious samosas
