Samosa is one of the most famous street foods in India. It is a small triangular fried snack that can be made out of almost anything. Some samosas are stuffed with potatoes, some are stuffed with meat and some are stuffed with vegetables. I have eaten hundreds of samosas in my life time and there are many things I like about them. The one thing I don’t like is that they are NEVER freshly prepared. This is the main reason I decided to prepare my own samosa at home.
A fried pastry with a moderate, spicy, or sweet filling is known as a samosa. A popular Bengali food is phul kopir samosa (cauliflower samosa). Samosas are known as shingara in Bengal. Shingara is smaller in size, with just 2 to 3 bits, similar to the tiny mini onion samosas we get in Chennai near the marina beach or bustling marketplaces, or sometimes in a tea shop, and in Hyderabad, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian at Irani or Muslim restaurants. I used a cauliflower and potato combination with almonds and a few spices for the shingara filling.
The puff pastry dough I’ve made it from scratch with both ghee and oil, as well as simply ghee. You may use ready-made samosa sheets from the market if you wish, but they will not have the same flavor as handmade pastry. Try it at least once. The samosa filling and dough may be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Rather than ready-made pastry, my kid preferred this samosa.

- The samosas may be fried on medium or low heat, but the oil should be heated and sizzle when the samosas are added.
