Instructions

  • Preparation of Dough
  • In a bowl add all purpose flour and salt.

  • Add little water and make a soft dough.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and keep it on a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes to settle the dough.
  • Let’s Prepare Stuffing
  • In a frying pan, add oil and heat it up.
  • Now add cumin seeds, green chilies, coriander seeds, red chili powder and turmeric powder and saute for few seconds.
  • Add chopped onion and mix well.
  • Now add 4 big size boiled potatoes and mashed properly to mix with spices.
  • Now add salt and chaat masala powder.
  • Mix well with the mashed potatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander to make it aromatic.
  • Let’s Fold the Samosa (Finger-Style)
  • Now take out the dough to make samosa.
  • Knead with hands. Make sure to add oil in your hands to knead the dough.
  • Distribute the dough in portion.
  • Take one portion and roll a big roti (tortilla style) using a rolling pin.
  • Make the roti thin as much as possible.
  • Now cut the dough lengthwise.
  • Place the filling in the middle of the dough.
  • Wrap it in fingerstyle as shown in the video.
  • Make sure to properly seal the edges.
  • Deep fry all samosas until getting golden brown color.

Notes

  1. If you are making homemade dough then make the dough semi-soft. Not hard and not soft need to be in middle. You can also take store-bought roll wrappers. 
  2. To make the samosa more crispy in texture, use cornflour in the homemade dough. 
  3. To get the best result, the dough resting time should be ½ an hour (minimum).
  4. Avoid too much stuffing as it can break while frying. 
  5. Longer stripes wrapping makes a crispy texture on a samosa. Must try with it!
  6. Deep fry in medium heat oil. High-temperature oil can make it dark and you will not get perfect brown color.
  7. Take it out on kitchen paper or grill to make it crispy for a longer time.
