potato toffee samosa recipe | aloo bites toffee recipe | tea time snacks with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple deep fried snack recipe made with plain flour & aloo stuffing. it is basically an alternative version of the popular deep-fried samosa recipe with a unique toffee-like shape and structure. these are a perfect evening snack that can be easily shared with friends and family with a cup of tea or coffee.
as i was explaining, samosa recipes are a versatile snack recipe that is hugely popular for its stuffing and crispiness. initially, the samosa recipe was introduced to indian cuisine as an alternative to the kachori recipe. basically, the migrant community brought this recipe from the middle east where it was stuffed with meat. we improvised it and stuffed it with spiced potatoes or mixed vegetables. this was a super hit, but we did not stop it there. we started exploring other options like changing the stuffing, with the shape and also with bread. this recipe of samosa is made by changing the shape. basically, the samosa wrap is shaped like toffee and hence it is named as aloo bites toffee recipe.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the potato toffee samosa recipe. firstly, the stuffing and the dough is very similar to the traditional samosa recipe. the only change introduced in this recipe is the shape and presented as toffee. if you do not wish to shape like toffee, you may use a traditional samosa shape. secondly, deep frying is critical for this recipe and you have to deep fry it in low to medium flame. this ensures the snack is crisp and evenly cooked. lastly, you may also use wheat flour for this recipe as an alternative to plain flour. you may not get the same taste, but still a healthy option.
