Veggie Samosa || Crispy Vegetable Samosa || How to Make Vegetable Samosa with step-by-step photos

 Veggie Samosa is a delicious small triangular fried snack, originally came from India and right after spread out all over the world, Samosas also are the most popular Pakistani appetizer/snack, it has a flaky crust and is filled with spiced potatoes, peas chicken, mince or eggs.

Wrapped in a thin pastry and fried to perfection served with mint chutney or ketchup. But here I am using dough to make samosa instead of a samosa sheet (manda Patti), I prefer to make samosa from dough it becomes more delicious than samosas Patti

It may take you some time but never compromise with taste
Samosa dough is prepared with all-purpose flour by adding carom seeds, ghee, and salt, using water quantity is just around 50 ml, a bit tight dough neither too hard nor soft

One thing keeps in your mind, samosas,namakpare aren’t required puffy, these snacks are just flaky and crispy crust required which actually comes from dough texture either you knead soft/dough or keep the quantity of ghee less or more in both cases cant get the desirable result of samosa, So be careful to knead the dough, let’s begin

Shape 2:
If you are not fully sure that you will be able to make the acute shape of samosa then here I did share 2nd one method for your ease
You can make the samosa to give another shape too like potli samosa, probably you heard its name before
Just roll the dough in the last same manner and place the stuffing in the center on a rolled ball

Gather all edges from all sides, and give it a little curve in its right direction as shown in the below picture,potli samosa is ready to make        
                                     
potli-samosa-is-ready

Once you are almost done shaping heat oil on a medium flame for deep frying samosa, the temperature of the oil should be just hot.
Not as hot as frying pakoras oil if the oil is too hot you will not get a flaky crust, Try checking by adding a small dough ball, it should stay in the bottom for a few seconds and then come on top steadily if it comes on top quickly that means oil is too hot

Slide 2 to 3 samosas at a time carefully into the hot oil. now lower the heat and continue frying turning occasionally for evenly brown
