Samosa is a stuffed pastry and is extremely popular as a snack in India and also mostly all over Asia and the Middle East.
The stuffing can be savoury with Potatoes/veggies/Minced Chicken/Beef, but it could also be sweet, ever heard of Chocolate Samosas!! Sounds heavenly isnt it ;-)
Today I made savoury potato-veggie stuffed, fried samosas for our good friends who were leaving the city and so it was kinda like a farewell snack :-)
Hope you love them!

- Mash the potatoes and add it to the veggie mix and combine it all together well. Check if the filling is seasoned well.
- Take the dough and make small 'tennis ball sized' balls. (You may make larger balls depending on the size of the samosa)
- Roll each ball into an oval shape with a rolling pin and cut it into half (almost a semi circle)
- Make a cone shape by joining both the ends of the semi circle and pinch it together with the help of some oil or water.
- Add 1tsp of the potato-veggie into the cone and fold in the end and again pinch it so that it is tightly closed.
- Heat some oil in a deep pan to almost 350 degrees and add the samosa few at a time and fry it until golden brown.
- Serve hot with ketchup , mint chutney or dates chutney, Enjoy!
