Samosa is one of our family favorite tea-time snack. It is so filling that we almost end up skipping our dinner itself. Now, you cant expect us to stop ourselves with just one samosa, right?! I’m sharing an easy recipe to make aloo samosa today.
Check out the recipe to make vegetable Samosa today:
Samosa originated in middle east and central Asia. It became the most popular fried pastry in India and Africa. You can even bake it but I prefer the fried version. I use Idhayam Mantra groundnut oil for deep frying snacks. It is pure and natural groundnut oil and the snacks remain so fresh for hours. The high smoke point of Idhayam mantra groundnut oil makes it ideal for deep frying. You can also check out recipes for Mangalorean buns or ribbon pakoda for snacking.
So, check out the recipe and follow the video to make delicious samosa at home. You can serve samosa with hair chutney and sweet tamarind chutney
