Samosa
Samosa, Bangalore life shows so many varieties of samosa’s. Here the Punjabi samosa are most popular one. All the condiments will definitely have a fresh batch of Punjabi samosa. So all these years we buy that punjabi samosa without another choice.
Sometimes really made a strong mind to never buy them, because both the samosas are entirely different from texture to flavour. Its a long back when I was preparing myself to be a food blogger I made a Todo list to make few recipes, there my favourite south Indian samosa listed top. I tried few times but faced a big flop, even though after years my love for the samosa knock again, and thanks to Google and Youtube learned few trick things to make these beauties.
Im not person who use frozen products in my pantry, so I never thought to try homemade samosa in store bought samosa sheets. I should tell here, Why this much craze over this fried snack. People from Duthie school school will never forget the break time. We have no idea in those days Where they bring such a big cartoons of samosa’s and snacks to our School canteen. During break we rush to canteen to reserve few pieces of samosa and Palkova. In those samosa the filling will be the tapioca stuffed one. Those are the best samosa I ever had.
In this recipe I used Aloo peas for stuffing, You can change the stuffing to your choice. After so many trials and errors finally I learned to make a perfect samosa. Scroll down for the complete recipe. Write me up if you have any doubt. Remember Homemade stuffs are the best to feed our family. So please try and let me know your experience too.

Notes
-
- Knead a soft Dough, to check press the dough with your fingers it should poke smoothly without any stickiness.
- While spreading the sheet, use a thick rolling pin, which helps to make a smooth even spread for the sheet.
- Experts will fold the samosa without heating the sheet, in this above recipe Heating the sheet helps to get a good grip.
- Just heat the sheets for 15 – 20 secs, if the sheets get over cooked the layers may tear easily.

Yummy evening snack.. Love the homemade Version .. It is healthy and much better than the store bought ones..
Your Samosas look perfectly crisp and delicious! Lovely pictorial recipe 🙂
Feel like munching those extremely crispy samosas though its not snack time for me. Nothing can beat those homemade samosa wrappers sis. Though its a tedious work, definitely worth to try.
I totally agree with you. I too have tried many times and failed to make these samosas and thanx to the technology.

Wow! So beautifully done… especially cooking the wraps two times… is a lot of work… love the filling too…
I am die hard fan f samosas. Yours making me hungry now ??
Who can resist hot samosa with chai and this whole platter is calling my name. Look so so good.
such a deltailed recipe and done brilliantly… love the idea of making a strip fr samosas rather than rolling circles.. a samosa fan here for sure.
You reminded me to make this, been postponing it since sometime. Looks so delicious, lovely share.
Cooking the dough shell before filling it and frying is a new technique for me.
Can have samosa anytime with a cup of masala chai
Crispy samosa and chai are the best. thank you for the step by step pics.
I agree with you, making homemade things from scratch is the best decision ever! We can control everything from salt to sugar to oil. Samosas are my major weakness my dear, and I just like you have fond memories of my school and college days when I had them during breaks etc. It was damn cheap and super flavourful. As South Indians, we normally didnt make this much at home, it was usually the bajjis or bondas that were more popular but the craving for punjabi flavoured samosas were always there. Loved your version of the pastry sheet making and then frying to get the perfect texture. Beautiful capture.
I love samosas with hot cup of tea..this looks perfect
for home made samosa I am ever ready to have. I wish if If can have this plate. That too you posted with tea…. yummy.
Who doesn’t love a samosa! And I came across this post when i am dying to have them with chai? Oh these look lovely, I wish i could have them right now
