Steps to Make the Potato Samosa
- Knead the dough that was kept aside for a minute or two.
- Take small gold ball sized portions from the dough.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten a dough ball in perfect oval shape. Apply some oil before flattening it.
- Using a knife, cut the flatten dough from the center and divide it into 2 equal parts.
- Apply water on the straight side.
- Now, lift the straight side and join them to make the shape of a cone. Seal the cone by pressing this straight side so that while frying, the filling doesn't come out.
- Fill the cone with one or 1½ spoon full of potato filling. You can add filling according to the size of the cone. I made them small, so only used 1 teaspoon to fill.
- Now, apply some water on the opposite edges which are open. Seal this edge with 1 pleat.
- Similarly, make all the samosa before deep frying. In a Kadhai, heat oil for deep frying.
- Keeping the flame on low, as soon as the oil is hot, slip as many samosas as you can.
- Let it fry undisturbed for a minute, then flip them and fry this side as well for a minute.
- Keep repeating this 1-minute process till your samosas turn golden in color.
- Your samosa is ready to be served. Serve it hot with pudina chutney or ketchup.
- You can also make samosa sandwiches or aloo toast using the potato filling.
Notes
- Don’t use less oil while kneading the dough. Otherwise, your samosa won’t be crunchy after frying.
- You can add some crumbled paneer with the potato or any other veggies you want.
- Don’t keep the flame on medium or high while deep frying the samosa. It will not cook the samosa from inside and in turn, your samosa will not turn crispy.
- Keep the dough hard and stiff. But don’t knead it too soft or too hard.
