Steps To Prepare
The samosa dough needs some resting time so prepare it before hand.
Keep your chopped onions ready.
Cooking Directions
For samosa sheets, take maida and wheat flour in a mixing bowl.
Add a pinch of sugar and salt to taste.
Add 2 tbsp of hot oil over flour.
Crumble the dough.
Knead to prepare a smooth dough and rest for 30 minutes.
Take a small portion of dough and start to roll with a rolling pin as thinly as possible.
Cut the sides to get a perfect rectangle shape.
For the samosa stuffing, in a mixing bowl, take sliced onions and poha. Add chilli powder, garam masala, amchur powder and salt.
Then add ginger and coriander leaves. Separate the layers of onions by mixing well and keep aside.
Take the rectangle partially cooked sheet and start folding from one side in triangle shape.
Make a hollow cone and fill the samosa stuffing prepared earlier.
Seal the edges with maida paste and drop in hot oil for frying.
Deep-fry until the samosa is golden brown in appearance.
