FAQS

  1. How do I make pan-fried samosas with a crispy texture?

    To achieve a crispy texture for your pan-fried samosas, ensure that the oil is hot enough before adding the samosas to the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown on both sides, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes per side. Using green onion pancake dough also contributes to a delightful crunch.

  2. Can I make these samosas vegan-friendly?

    Yes, this pan-fried samosa recipe is naturally vegan as it contains no animal products. The filling is made from potatoes, chickpeas, and peas, making it a great option for those following a vegan diet.

  3. What can I substitute for green onion pancake dough in samosas?

    If you can't find green onion pancake dough, you can use store-bought dumpling wrappers or make your own dough using all-purpose flour and water. Just roll it out thinly to create a similar texture for your samosas.

  4. How should I store leftover pan-fried samosas?

    To store leftover pan-fried samosas, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, pan-fry them again for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.

  5. What are some good dipping sauces to pair with pan-fried samosas?

    Pan-fried samosas pair wonderfully with a variety of dipping sauces. Consider serving them with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or a spicy yogurt dip. The chili oil drizzled on top also adds a nice kick!
