Aloo Samosa
Samosas need no introduction, crispy outside, and super tasty filling. Enjoy these with your favorite chutneys: green, tamarind, and garlic chutneys.
They are loved by almost every person as they can be fried or baked, the filling can be savory or sweet; hence, to sum they all it can be customized as per one’s taste.
In this post, I will show you how to make basic potato samosa. To make the outer covering of the samosa crispy the dough must be properly made. If there is an excess of shortening in the dough the samosa will be very oily and if it is less, then the covering will be hard and not crisp. The dough, if soft, will also make the samosas oily.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
For the dough: In a bowl take maida. Add salt and oil to it. Mix well. When you take flour in your hands and press it, the flour must be tightly packed.
- 2
Add water and knead into a medium stiff dough. Cover and let it rest for half an hour.
- 3
For the stuffing: Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 3 whistles. Peel the skin and then mash them.
- 4
In a kadai heat oil. Add asafetida, and mustard seeds. Let the seeds crackle. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds powder, ginger, green chili, black peppercorn, and cloves. Fry for a few seconds.
- 5
Add onions and fry till translucent.
- 6
Add red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
- 7
Add the mashed potatoes and mix well. Switch off the flame.
- 8
Add lemon juice and mix well. Let it cool down completely. Stuffing is ready!
- 9
Take the prepared dough and apply some oil and knead well. Make small balls from the dough.
- 10
Take one ball and roll it into a circle of 1 mm thickness.
- 11
Cut into half and apply water on both the cut sides.
- 12
Take one part and fold as shown in the shape of a cone.
- 13
Fill it with the stuffing. Apply water on the edges and seal the samosa.
- 14
Similarly, prepare samosa from the other part too.
- 15
Heat oil in a kadai. When the oil is moderately hot slide in the samosa. Let it fry on slow flame. Flip when it turns golden brown in color. Let fry from the other side also.
- 16
Take out on an absorbent paper. Similarly, fry the other samosa. Continue the procedure with the entire dough. The number of samosas to be fried at a time depends upon the quantity of oil taken. (I prefer taking less oil)

Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya
While traditional samosa or singara (that's what we Bengalis call it) are filled with a spicy potato filling, this one comes with a sweet filling made of reduced milk, milk solids and semolina, laced in sticky sugar syrup. The filling can also be made of chhana or cottage cheese, but I like the kheer version more.The given proportion yields around 40 small samosas or 30 large ones.See more on my blog post here: http://www.allthatsdelicious.com/mishti-singara-recipe

Baked Butternut Squash Samosas Baked Butternut Squash Samosas
Another one for my Butternut Squash series ;) Samosas are often made with potatoes but I tried it with butternut squash instead! I also find baking samosas instead of frying is much easier and they turn out less oily.There are a lot of spices in here but if you don't have them all, don't worry. It will still taste good if you leave something out or you could even replace with curry powder or something else you like.Makes 8 samosas.
