Tips and Hacks in Preparing Baked Samosa

While kneading the flour or atta, you can add vegetable puree of your choice for an even better taste and also add more nutritional value. To make a crispy and tasty baked samosa, make a stiff dough while you add little oil to the dough ensuring the crispness. If you add too much water, the tiny air pockets will prevent it from turning it crispy. After kneading the dough, leave it aside for at least 30 minutes to get the best results. Make sure to roll the dough ball into a thin sheet without adding more atta or flour, instead add a few drops of oil to roll it evenly. For gluten-free samosas, you can try and add some banana flour with the atta for some extra health benefits. Light up your dull monsoon evenings with this crunchy baked samosa recipe with wheat flour and add more zing to it with a spicy sauce of your choice.

Few Additional Tips and Hacks

Now that you know how to make Samosa at home with this super easy to make the recipe, here are some more tips and hacks that you may not find in any Samosa video: Adding some ghee while kneading the dough will make the crispier Samosa, which can match the crunchiness of potato chips. If you do not wish to add ghee, you can replace it with refined oil in this Samosa recipe. To add more texture to the filling of these simple Samosas, you can add some chopped nuts such as cashew nuts, walnuts, or even peanuts. Make sure you roast the nuts before adding them to the filling for the added crunch. If you like a hint of sweetness in your Samosa, you can add chopped raisins to the filling too. For healthier alternatives to these yummy simple Samosas, you can add vegetable puree or pulp to knead the dough. For a more nutritional punch and health benefits, you can add banana flour along with whole wheat flour to make the dough. The best thing about this recipe is that you can store the unbaked Samosas in the freezer for a few days. However, do not store them for long as the potato and peas mixture may turn stale and lose its texture and taste. And when you wish to make Samosas, simply keep them out of the freezer and bake them as usual. Also, when stuffing the filling inside the Samosa, make sure you gently press the filling down the cone to remove any air pockets as air pockets may pop open while baking. If you do not have dry mango powder to make the mixture tangier, you can add the juice of 1 lemon to the potato mixture. However, make sure you add lemon juice towards the end and then cook the mixture for a couple of minutes.
