Onion samosa recipe, How to make onion samosa

Onion samosa or Irani samosa is a yummy deep fried snacks that is smaller in size compared to normal samosa. These little samosas taste great when accompanied with a cup of hot chai specially on a rainy day. Onion samosa contains a simple filling made with onions and poha which can be easily made in no time. On the whole this samosa takes very less time to prepare still tastes super yummy than other samosas. I had earlier posted the baked version of this samosa which is a healthy version but actual mazza comes when you taste the samosa in its original version. Since i got positive reviews for the baked one i thought to post deep fried version too. Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as well! So lets get to the making!

Notes

  1. Prepare the dough first then prepare the stuffing/filling as it gets really soggy as it can spoil the shaping/ wrapping of samosa.
  2. Make sure to fry the samosa in right oil temperature like heating the oil well and frying it in low temperature helps in achieving right color and cooked stuffing as well or else only color will be achieved with uncooked stuffing.
