onion samosa recipe | patti samosa with samosa sheets | irani samosa | railway samsoa with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple samosa recipe made with simple samosa sheets and caramelised spiced onions. compared to the traditional punjabi samosa recipe, the sheets are much easier to prepare and also the stuffing is simple with just one vegetable. moreover, the texture is crisper like a spring roll and can be easily served for any occasion, party starters or simple as evening snacks with a cup of tea or coffee.
well, to be honest, i am a huge fan of the samosa recipes. i still remember me gulping down 2-4 samosa’s daily during my school and college days. you may wonder, how one can have so many potato-based samosa’s on a daily basis. well, the truth is i was always having the patti or crisp samosa. it is lighter and i feel tastier compared to the aloo stuffed punjabi samosa. in those days, it was typically sold by local bakery vendors, or sold by street food vendors. i knew it was simple but never knew the process. but in this recipe, i have followed a simple and easy technique to prepare the sheets. the same technique i had used to prepare the spring roll sheets. there is no kneading or rolling and basically, the batter is poured into a hot tawa pan till it forms a sheet.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the onion samosa recipe. firstly, the stuffing for irani samosa can easily experiment with other stuffings. for instance you may use a combination of potato, mixed vegetables with onion to make it more interesting and flavoured. secondly, in this recipe, i have shown a simple way to prepare patti sheets. these sheets are multipurpose and can be used for other snacks like spring roll or potli samosa. having said that, you may also use store-bought samosa sheets too. lastly, these samosa’s should be deep-fried in a low flame till it becomes crisp. also, do not overcrowd the frying pan and add only 5-6 samosas at a time.
