About Samosa Recipe

What makes this the best homemade samosa recipe? My foolproof instructions will guarantee that your potatoes and peas samosa are hearty with a perfectly flaky, crispy crust.

I use a bit less water than some other recipes to make my dough, which creates an ever flakier and crave-able samosa crust. (This is also the trick I use to make samosa pie, which is a great non-fried alternative to traditional samosa.)

Plus, the filling in these Punjabi Samosa is just fantastic. It’s super easy to prepare in a stovetop pressure cooker or using an Instant Pot and in a pan on the stove.

Green peas and potatoes are blended with classic Indian spices for a warm, satisfying stuffing that will keep you wanting more.

With a perfect crust and comforting filling, this recipe is a real winner! Give it a try and you’ll be amazed at how simple and fun it is to make samosa recipe from scratch at home.

Our personal favorite is and will always be a Punjabi Samosa which is what this recipe is all about. The classic potato and green peas stuffing in this recipe is adapted from my cooking school notes.

I have also made a video which shows the shaping, stuffing and deep frying the Aloo Samosa. You can have a look at the video, if the photos don’t help.
