How to make Patti Samosa

Prepare the filling

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the boiled potatoes and green peas.

  2. Step 2

    Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the chopped fresh coriander and remove from heat. Let the filling cool.

Make the dough

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough.

  2. Step 2

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Assemble and fry the samosas

  1. Step 1

    Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval shape.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, form a cone, and seal the edge.

    Fill the cone with the potato filling and seal the open edge by pressing it together.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the samosas until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

FAQS

  1. How do I make Patti Samosa crispy and golden brown?

    To achieve crispy and golden brown Patti Samosas, ensure that the oil is hot enough before frying. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready. Fry the samosas in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy samosas.

  2. Can I make Patti Samosa gluten-free?

    Yes, you can make Patti Samosas gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to adjust the water content as needed, since gluten-free flours can absorb moisture differently. Additionally, check the other ingredients for gluten compatibility.

  3. What are some good substitutions for the filling in Patti Samosa?

    If you want to customize the filling for your Patti Samosas, you can substitute the potatoes and peas with other vegetables like carrots, corn, or even paneer for a richer flavor. You can also add spices like turmeric or amchur (dried mango powder) for additional taste.

  4. How should I store leftover Patti Samosas?

    To store leftover Patti Samosas, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Place the cooled samosas on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container.

  5. What can I serve with Patti Samosa for a complete meal?

    Patti Samosas pair wonderfully with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of yogurt to balance the spices. You can also serve them with a cup of masala chai for a delightful tea-time experience.
