Samosa is a beloved snack, but this healthier version is a game changer! Instead of deep frying, we cook these samosas in an appe pan, making them crispy and golden without the excess oil. The dough is made with whole wheat flour and semolina, and the stuffing is a flavorful mix of potatoes, peas, and spices. Perfect for guilt-free indulgence!
