Onion Samosa

Onion Samosa
Why to wait for rain to have these crispy spicy onion samosas!

We all love to have samosa as an evening snack .

Samosa is a yummy appetizer to fill your empty stomach and a big hunger too.The filling of samosa is the main hero to satisfy your taste buds.But i think the upper crust is also important for a samosa lover as it should be crispy and properly fried.

We all love samosas specially in rainy season with tea or when some guests come to your house,we normally serve samosa for them but when my guests come to my house i prefer making the samosas at home with a good maintained hygiene by frying the samosas in a healthy oil and of course nothing is the best than the home made treat!  

Samosa fillings can be done in lot of variations like keema samosa,daal samosas,dry fruits samosa or the most wanted and available aloo samosa but i have tried a different filling in the samosa by adding onions and one more secret ingredient that you can find in the recipe.The filling of spicy onions and the aroma and taste of masalas is really tangy and yummy.

You can make these samosa for kids birthday parties or evening snack parties also.

I have added wheat flour to make it little healthy and all purpose flour also.Wheat flour makes the samosas more crispy and tastes good.

I just love to make these samosas for my family in the evening and they enjoy a lot by having this with their tea or coffee .

So here goes the tempting and easy recipe of onion samosa-

Ingredients -

4. Water for kneading the dough
5. Salt 1/2 tsp

(knead the dough by adding these ingredients and cover the dough with a moist cloth and keep it aside for 1/2 an hour)

The dough should not be very tight or neither too soft.

For the filling -

1. Onions thinly sliced-2 big sized

4. Now make rest of the chapaties of your left over dough and cut them and keep aside.
5. In the mean time make your wok ready with oil by switching on the flame.
6. Now for the filling take the onions,poha and add all the masala referred above and mix them well with your fingers .
7. Now take some dry flour and dusk it on the shelf to avoid sticking of the dough.
8. Take half chapati and take some water on your fingers and apply it on the sides of the chapati dough and fold it by making a cone.
9. Fill the filling around 2 tsp in the cone seal the corners properly by applying little water on the top ends to seal the samosa properly.

11. Flip it when it has turned golden brown on one side.
12. fry it first on high flame and later on medium flame.
