 Cauliflower and lentil samosa- Indian snack made with homemade pastry shells with savory vegetable and lentil filling

Cauliflower samosa Is popular in Bengali cuisine . There this samosa is popular as singhara. I have posting a slight variation of this recipe by adding some moong daal , which make it more healthy and filling

Aloo Samosa is a popular North Indian snack, appetizer and a famous street side snack. Traditionally it is a deep fried snack but some people also like the baked version.
The pastry sheet or the outer covering is made with refined flour and then rolled and shaped into a cone and stuffed with a spicy mixture. The filling is usually made with potato, peas and variations with cheese, lentils and non-vegetarian versions are also not unheard of.
Traditional way is a little difficult for beginners so I am sharing a much easier way of making samosas. Samosas are always served with a tangy dipping sauce like Green chutney and date and tamarind chutney.

    Hi Anjanaji! Can u plz share with us the traditional way to make samosa, meaning the cover made with maida. For me the filling is never a problem, only the outer cover doesnt turn out very tasty.

  4. Jaleela

    yummy and very crispy ,yes adding cornflour gives more crispy,whenever i am making somasa or gujiya i am also use cornflour.
    nice presentation

  5. Maayeka

    @Radha samosas are crisper by making this way..and if you add cornflour and make a medium stiff dough and fry on medium to low flame they will surely become crisper

  8. radha

    Does toasting the covering make it more crisp? My samosas are never crisp. They are tasty but on the softer side.

    @ Manasi lightly roasting like a roti and then making samosa is much easier then the traditional way.but you can follow it without roasting too,just roll and fill the stuffing:)

  26. meena

    delicious, i never thought to roast roti like this.. this is yummy samosa

  27. Manasi

    Oh lovely!
    I was wondering, why do u lightly roast the cover, like a roti, before deep frying?
