What Is a Samosa?

A samosa is a deep-fried savory pastry filled with spicy potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat. Originating from South Asia, it's now loved around the world as a crispy, flavorful street food or party appetizer.

Ingredients for Samosa Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup oil or ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water, as needed (about 1/3 cup)

Ingredients for Potato Filling

  • 3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 cup green peas (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1–2 green chilies, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh coriander leaves (optional)

How to Make Samosa (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
  2. Add oil/ghee and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Slowly add water and knead into a firm, smooth dough.
  4. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, ginger, and green chilies.
  2. Add turmeric, mashed potatoes, green peas, and salt.
  3. Stir in garam masala and coriander powder. Mix well.
  4. Let it cool completely before stuffing.

Step 3: Shape the Samosas

  1. Divide dough into equal balls. Roll into an oval, then cut in half.
  2. Form a cone with each half and seal the edge with water.
  3. Fill with 1–2 tablespoons of potato filling.
  4. Seal the top to form a triangle. Press edges firmly.

Step 4: Fry the Samosas

  1. Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat.
  2. Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Drain on paper towels.

Tips for Perfect Samosas

  • Use medium-low heat while frying to get crispy layers.
  • Let the dough rest for better elasticity.
  • Seal edges properly to prevent filling from leaking.
  • Add amchur (dry mango powder) or lemon juice for tanginess in the filling.

FAQs About Samosas

Can I bake or air fry samosas?
Yes! Brush with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or air fry at 350°F for 15–18 minutes.

Can I freeze samosas?
Absolutely. Freeze shaped, uncooked samosas. Fry directly from frozen—no need to thaw.

What sauces go with samosas?
Mint chutney, tamarind chutney, garlic sauce, or yogurt dips all work beautifully.

Perfect Pairings for Samosas

  • Masala Chai
  • Green Chutney
  • Tamarind Date Chutney
