Homemade and pure bliss! That is what I call these lovely looking goodies. The other day when I bought Spring Onions from the bhaji wala in my lane, I quickly had thought of making these Samosas for Iftaar. This is one more variation added to the list of Samosas that I have made until now. And this time I made these for all my immediate neighbours as a gesture of good will and best wishes for the festive season. Spring Onions give it a lovely flavour and texture. Flaky and crusty, these are a must have snack on any given day. Serving them with Shaam ki Chai has a charm of it's own. With this recipe, you can make about 32 Samosas and can very well double up according to the need. Sharing is the essence of this festive season. Especially with the less fortunate ones.

Happy Ramadan Month Friends!

Steps

40 minutes

1

Make a smooth yet firm dough with all the ingredients mentioned for the Samosas. Cover and set aside for a good 20 minutes.
2

For the filling, heat Oil at first. Now add crushed Coriander seeds, Curry Leaves, Asafoetida, Green chillies and chopped Red Onion. Saute all of that on a low heat until the raw smell fades away and the Onions are nicely sauteed. Now add the powdered spices and the boiled and the chopped Spring Onions. Mix well. Cook for a minute or more. And then finally garnish with chopped Coriander Leaves, Chat masala and Garam masala both.
3

Now add the boiled and mashed Potatoes to it. Give it all a good mix. There is no need to cook much. Leave it on covered on a low heat for just 2 more minutes and then take it off the heat. Set aside until you roll out Samosas.
4

Divide the dough into equal sized balls and roll out a medium thick disc out of each ball. Cut into two and make Samosas by stuffing in about 2 tablespoons of the Potato Spring Onions mix. Seal the edges properly by pinching them. Deep fry on a low to medium-high heat in hot Oil. Never do that on a high heat.
5

After done with all, it's time to serve these tempting homemade yummy Samosas with Green Chutney at Iftaar. You can serve them with any other Chutney of your choice if desired. Happy Iftaar Time!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
