🥟 Restaurant-Style Aloo Samosa Recipe 🥟
(Flaky, crunchy outside + spiced potato filling inside)
📝 Ingredients:
🌾 For the dough (outer crust):
2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
4 tbsp oil or ghee (for moyan – makes it flaky)
Salt to taste
Water – as needed
Optional: 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain) – for flavor & digestion
🥔 For the filling:
3–4 medium potatoes – boiled, peeled & mashed
1/2 cup green peas – boiled
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1–2 green chilies – finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger – grated or paste
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp amchur (dry mango powder) or lemon juice
1/2 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander, chopped
👩🍳 Step-by-Step:
1. Make the dough (important for flakiness!)
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and ajwain.
Add oil/ghee and rub into the flour with fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs.
Slowly add water and knead into a stiff dough.
Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds.
Add green chilies + ginger. Sauté a few seconds.
Add boiled peas and mashed potatoes.
Add turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur, and salt.
Mix well, cook for a few mins, then finish with fresh coriander.
Let it cool before filling.
3. Shape the samosas
Divide dough into balls. Roll out into ovals (like mini rotis), ~6–7 inches.
Cut in half (you’ll have two semi-circles).
Take one semi-circle, fold into a cone, sealing the edge with water.
Fill with potato mixture.
Seal the top by pressing the edges together.
4. Fry ‘em golden
Heat oil for deep frying. Keep the heat on medium-low.
Fry samosas in batches till golden and crisp. Patience = flaky perfection!
Don’t overcrowd the pan.
🪄 Pro Tips:
Rest the dough—this makes the crust softer to roll and flakier.
Fry on medium-low heat—too hot = bubbles & soft crust.
Want them spicier? Add crushed coriander seeds or chopped green chilies to the filling.
✨ Serve with:
Green chutney (mint-coriander)
Tamarind chutney
A hot cup of masala chai
