Local 'halwaais' frying mouthwatering samosas in huge kadhai is a common sight in nearly any part of India. Golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and spicy on the inside Punjabi Samosas taste as good as they look.

The traditional Punjabi Samosa is large and its filling is mainly made up of potatoes and peas. You can even add chopped cashew nuts and raisins to make them a rich and tasty snack.

For that extra zing to Punjabi veg samosa you can also add some anardaana or black salt to the filling mixture. Also, while frying Punjabi samosa adjust the flame as needed for different batches as the oil should be medium hot and do not overcrowd the pan.

Piping hot Punjabi samosas taste amazing with Khajur imli ki chutney or spicy green chutney. You can even top them with hot chole to make Chole Samosa Chaat. Other than that with a drizzle of coconut kadhi, you can make a unique Samosa Kadhi Chaat.

Notes and tips on Punjabi samosa recipe. 1. Dough for samosa should be stiff which makes samosa’s flaky and crispy. 2. Press the stuffing lightly in the cone to prevent the air pockets. 3. Ensure that the edges of the samosa are sealed properly so that the stuffing doesn’t come out while frying.

For others who don’t like complicated chaats, you can make this easy and quick Samosa Chaat smeared with whisked curd and chutney.

Apart from these chaats, Mumbaikars make various sandwiches by stuffing samosa between bread slices. Try these fabulous Samosa Chips Sandwich and Toasted Samosa Sandwich for a tasty and innovative evening snack.

You can make different stuffings of your choice and make varieties of samosa. Our website also has other samosa variants like the Mini Spinach and Cheese Samosa Hariyali Samosa, Chinese Samosa, Cheese and Spring Onion Samosa that you can try making at home.

Perfect result achieved with no difficulty. Dough is easy to work but cooks to a delightfully crisp finish, and the filling is full of flavour. Highly recommended.

Delicious, mouthwatering samosas. Only difference is that I baked the samosas rather than deep frying to reduce calories.
