Samosas are characterized by a savory, spiced filling encased in a crispy, fried pastry. The predominant flavors are derived from potatoes, peas, and a blend of aromatic spices.
The filling typically features boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas, and a mixture of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili powder. These spices create a warm, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor profile. The pastry, made from all-purpose flour or wheat flour, is deep-fried to a golden brown, providing a contrasting crispy texture.

Dough Consistency
The dough should be firm but pliable. Adding a small amount of oil or ghee to the dough makes it more flaky after frying.
Spice Tempering
Tempering the spices in hot oil before adding the potatoes enhances their aroma and flavor, creating a more complex filling.
Frying Temperature
Fry the samosas at a medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown without burning. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
