Samosa is a cone-shaped or triangle shaped snack recipe stuffed with aloo matar stuffing and is the most popular evening snack throughout India. I have shared a video procedure below to show how to make a cone-shaped samosa with detailed steps.
Other snacks recipes on the blog that can be tried are onion samosa and chicken spring rolls.
This simple cone shaped snack needs a little bit of practice as the dough is not a readymade sheet and its made at home using maida.
The maida dough is made with the help of ghee, salt, water and the dough should be kneaded soft for perfect samosas...
This goes perfectly as an evening snack recipe... This is the most relished snack with a hot cup of tea during winter evenings or during rains...
This cone shaped snack is a favorite of all. The aloo snack is a crispy cone shaped maida snack filled with light stuffing...
It is a snack recipe that actually has emerged from punjab.
The snack is given a perfect shape and later deep fried in oil which can be served with any chutney or any dips...Mainly they are accompanied with hot hot tea...
The feel of eating samosas during rains with tea is an amazing feeling and its fun to enjoy them while watching the heavy rains...
Aloo samosa or punjabi samosa is also the most popular street food found across India. Every street corner sells these samosas in the form of onion samosa or aloo samosa...
Kids love to have these as evening snacks and they also prefer these snacks to be packed in their boxes and enjoy with friends...
Mini parties too are incomplete without these snacks.
Since Ramadan is around the corner, I would love to post some iftar snacks recipes that are suitable for this auspicious month and something we usually prefer to make it...
One can make various stuffing and fill with those stuffings such as vegetable stuffing, keema stuffing etc... Here, in this recipe I have made aloo stuffing.
Aloo in this stuffing is first boiled, peeled and then mashed. The mashed aloo is then stir fried in some spices and herbs...
Below are the recipe details shared to make this street food style samosa with aloo matar stuffing...

Notes
2.Frying on high flame keeps the samosa dough raw from inside and it is burnt from outside which is not so good in taste.
3.Here in the stuffing, very finely chopped green chillies, roasted coriander powder too can be added for more flavors.
4.Other stuffings such as keema stuffing, vegetable stuffing too can be made.
