🥟 Samosa Recipe: 10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. How to make samosa dough perfect? 🤔

    Add enough oil (moen) to the flour and knead with a little water to make a firm but smooth dough.

  2. How to make samosas crispy? 🥟

    Use enough oil while kneading and fry them on low-medium heat for a crispy texture.

  3. Can I bake samosas instead of frying? 🔥

    Yes! Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, brushing with oil for a nice crust.

  4. Why do samosas break while frying? 🤯

    If the dough is too soft or the stuffing is too moist, samosas may break. Avoid over-kneading and keep the filling dry.

    Use refined oil or ghee for a rich taste. Make sure the oil is moderately hot before frying.

  6. Can I store samosas for later use?

  7. What different fillings can I use? 😍

    For unique flavours, try paneer, cheese, corn, keema, or mixed veggies!

  8. Which chutney pairs best with samosas? 🌿

    Green chutney (mint & coriander), tamarind chutney, and tomato ketchup are the best combos!

  9. Can I make samosas in an air fryer? 🍃

    Yes! For a healthier version, air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes.
