How to make Patti Samosa

Prepare the filling

  2. Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.

  3. Stir in the chopped fresh coriander and remove from heat. Let the filling cool.

Make the dough

  1. In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough.

  2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Assemble and fry the samosas

  1. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval shape.

  2. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, form a cone, and seal the edge.

  3. Fill the cone with the potato filling and seal the open edge by pressing it together.

  4. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the samosas until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
