Samosa - Indian Appetizer Recipe

[dudethatstotallycool]

so how many samosas does the portions given in the video make?

[MissGlitterCouture]

can you boil them in water instead of oil....?

like how you do with perogies?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MissGlitterCouture :The only other option to frying them would be to bake them. The skin of the samosa is supposed to be crisp...

[MrLuckyPants69]

In a parallel universe, I must have an Indian bride!

[eneth26]

thanks for the video!

[eneth26]

one of my favorite SAMOSA! I like the accent :-)

[sonamjinpa79]

how many munite need to cook samosa in oil?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sonamjinpa79 : Couple of minutes on each side till the samosas change to a golden color.

Downloding

[UniversalTrinity]

Please can you tell me, is the 'All Purpose flour' you are using plain flour or self raising flour? And is there another name for Ajwain (Carrom sees)? I have many spices but don't recognise this one. Does anyone know if it's called anything else in England? Thanks.

[acquiescence1]

thanks for the recipe, girls!

[justinpark5]

why are you using a muffler as a rolling pin??

[MadhulikaSingh1]

My filling tuned out great. My son ate 6 samosas at once!

[winlythia]

really liked the bit where you sped up the dough mix, very cool time-lapse.

[Alyxification]

[greliza123]

hi... i have a question... where can i buy GARAM MASALA??? i am actually living in the philippines ..

i love your videos by the way.

[SuperStrik9]

Samosa are AMAZING! Love East Indian food! There's a place in my area called Samosa King that specializes in different kinds of Samosa. They are so good I can eat em by the bag!

[salonichopra24]

my samosa outer layer is so hard??may i knw the reason

[qwertyui66771]

@salonichopra24 Use more oil in flour.

[vertstylus]

Vegetarian samosas are the best!

[LEV1ATHYN]

Looks great! Thanks for posting

[SparkzMxzXZ]

I visited India earlier this year. Best week of my life, eating Indian food 3 times a day. :D

[xxSalma1964xx]

Hey guys! So we can use metha or atha right?

[santy319]

why not we make the filling then do the dough?

[mozkip]

thank you,i love samosas

[Ashth2981]

Hey girls I like your recepies very much. I have a question is it possible to keep samosas for few days, how?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Ashth2981 : Yes, you can, re-heat in the oven when you are ready to serve.

[mhrefinnej]

Hey girls, other than a Huge God Bless You for bringing the flavors of India to the masses, I have a question... Anuja, what is the behind the scenes of the last part in which the poor Hetal had no other choice but to laugh like a mad woman?? And also, when will you guys put into production the second edition of the Lighter Side of SMTC? Keep it up guys! Oh, BTW, the tip u gave me about the smoked oil for the ginger-garlic paste/ garlic not going green (on FB) worked like a charm. Thanx again!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mhrefinnej : Ha ha ha....well, in one of the previous videos, Hetal did not let me finish chewing and swallowing my food and started filming....so, I was getting back at her! We kid around and have a blast and a lot of inside jokes..... ;)

[124kabir]

@mhrefinnej fffffffff

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

[MrChannel5news]

SHOW ME THE CURRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE­E

[rishiprsd]

Hey, this is just an idea I have been having for years but could never get to it

Make samosas but instead of the old potato and peas filling, use sort of dry manchurian as a filling and then serve it...what do you ladies think of it?

p.s - I for one, have never got the time to implement on it but the very thought makes me drool....samosas have an extra crunch to themselves...if the idea feels worthy, please try it out and tell me how it works out

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@rishiprsd : It is amazing how many different types of stuffing go into samosa. Never heard of manchurian but you never know ... :)

[Bookssful]

delicious

[MyAmidu]

ohhh , i love samosa so much. put in Africa We put meats on samosa, or rice, or potato.

thank you for sharing

[sweetythebest]

why did Hetal laugh at the end ?? I missed it !!

[poojakawatra]

I tried samosa but after frying te outer crust has some bubble and not very smooth . Pls advise what could be the reason ?

[hedwigsilver]

love ur videos!!!

[RiazH0121]

my most favourite video in the world.

[deepikabhavana]

thnx 4 reply! :D

do u have a video of cake recipe on utube??....

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@deepikabhavana : Yes, we have a lot of different cake recipes. You can search for them on our website or on our YouTube channel page.

[deepikabhavana]

how long does it take to make the Samosas?

n is it OK if v use plain flour?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@deepikabhavana : Approximately 50 minutes but it is worth it :)

All-Purpose Flour (maida) is different from Whole Wheat Flour (atta) and in this recipe it cannot be substituted. You will not enjoy the samosas.

[chicharwali]

@deepikabhavana plain flour IS all purpose flour.

[vijaymallick]

ha ha ha ha ha ha today after 30years i got to know that samosa is an appitieser...

[musicmelodyx]

@vijaymallick what did you think it was??

[Rea0music0freak]

what is cilantro????

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Rea0music0freak

Coriander leaves

[yanzu]

can you use plain flour as well?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@yanzu

Plain flour is the same as all-purpose flour.

[macron12]

the one on the left is very sexy:)

[loonycake]

@macron12 you are blind



[TheGrimdoor]

where do i find the pastrey!

[goldenflame295]

You can't have chutney on triangle shaped foods!

[77elmst]

Where did you buy your frying spoon? It looks like the best one for draining out the excess oil once fried....Is it from India or here?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@77elmst : It is from an Indian Grocery store here in the US.

[arabianmetalhead99]

I go to the buffet and eat so much of the vegetarian samosa mmmmmmmmmmm. I love the Lamb kind to!!!

[AngieGirl9080]

dont some of them have meat :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@AngieGirl9080

Yes, but this recipe is for the veggie kind :)

[uvraajg]

ok didi i try again today.tnx didi

[uvraajg]

HELLO DEAR SISTERS,I MAKE PAANI PURI AS U SHOW I N UR VIDEO, EVERY THING OK .I MADE SAME AS IN UR VIDEO,BUT THAT ONE NOT BECOME CRISPY, I ALSO TREAT THEM IN MICROWAVE BUT ON EFFECT, PLS TELL ME WHY?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@uvraajg

The puri must be fried at a lower temperature so that they do not become brown on the top and still soft on the inside.

[Sieberliebangbang]

I live in The Hague (holland) and i cant find nowhere mangopowder:(

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Sieberliebangbang

You can substitute lemon or lime juice.

[marek0086]

@Sieberliebangbang~ I live on Jupiter and i cant find ANY of these ingredients!

[snakemast66]

i love samosas

[cphater1]

Thank you ladies.Extremely helpful.

[PsychLion]

I get home made samosas from a local Indian restaurant and they are perfect for when it's cold and snowing out! I love mine with the Mint chutney. Great videos, thank you!

[pinkmileylove]

this recipe seems really easy! thanks guys! I have been looking for a good samosas recipe to try out and looks like I've found one! can't wait to make these! = )

[varsh1309]

am a student and i live alone, ur recipes are so useful!!thnks....and was wondering..are u guys related or just friends?? ;)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@varsh1309

We're so glad you are finding our SMTC useful. We are friends.

[kashifzgr]

Lovely ! Ladies fantastic job. Only thing that could make it better is if you were single and lived in my town. lol. Thank you for a wonderful job.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@kashifzgr

Lol..that's why we teach how to make delicious food - so you don't need a woman to do it for you ;).

[andymission]

~~ Loves You ~~

[alexprime]

Would this recipe be possible with Whole Wheat flour?? If so, would any changes in the recipe be required? Thank you!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@alexprime

It would be possible and possibly the water amount would change slightly. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact amount. Please keep in mind that the end result (taste/texture) will be really different.

[alexprime]

@ShowMeTheCurry I see, but, I can't imagine that this dish was traditionally done with all-purpose flour, or was it? I was asking the question more from a ''health-wise'' perspective, although I agree its a funny question for a deep-fried meal :P

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@alexprime

Actually, it is traditionally made with all-purpose flour (or maida as it is called).

[PsychLion]

@alexprime I thing some are used with chick pea flour.

[fatchickskinny]

OMG!! A classmate of mine brought these for a bake sale and they were the first to go. That was over six years ago and I wished like crazy that I'd asked her what they were. The delicious flavor of the crust and peas were all I could remember. I am sooooo glad you guys provided this video!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@fatchickskinny

Awesome! Let us know what you think if you try them out.

[DaGizza]

What's Asafoetida in Hindi? Never heard of it. Thanks.

[TheExamlover]

@DaGizza it is heeng :)

[DaGizza]

@TheExamlover  Thanks! :D

[ilovebooksful]

hi Hetal and Anuja I love your recipes . Can I use wheat flour? Please answer and keep up your good work

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ilovebooksful

You can use wheat flour, but please keep in mind that the end result (taste/texture) will be really different.

[yayaya565]

why do u need lemon juice?

[anabob29]

Thanks for the wonderful recipies and also you two are inspirational to many who might want to start some venture of their own. Just quirous, who does tha camera, editing etc for you both? they are of excellent quality as well.

[veekayart]

Just made samosas per your recipe. added raisins and cashews in fillings As u say they looked fantastic. Sorry could not invite you to critic and enjoy.;(It is raining and cold here. I could not wait to get my hands on them. They are delicious.Yum! Yum! Hey! One question! Can I freeze them for days ?

Thanks....Warm Regards Allah Hafiz Vasim

[Nipisful]

how nice! i read a book by a hindu/american writer (the hindi bindi club by monica pradhan,lovely book by the way)

and she gives the real hindu recipes she talks about in her book.it is nice to see them.it would be better to try them but i am 2 lazy to cook!

[mlc2005]

100,000 plus views! You go ladies. I've been watching your clips for two years now, and it's great to see you both doing so well :) You've given my family and I many great meals because of your recipes. Keep it up!

[happyidiottalk]

Anyone know what carrom seeds are, I'm in the UK and have never heard of them.  Were they fennel seeds?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@happyidiottalk : They are called 'Ajwain' in Hindi - you can get them at Indian or South Asian Grocery stores. They have a great flavor and help in digestion.

[AdamIntellectual7]

best channel on youtube! i'm 17 and trying to learn how to cook, this will definitely help me, thanks!:D

[caljenlou]

I was wondering what you do with the leftover oil that you used for your samosas because I never know what to do with the oil when Im done with it, do you have any answers?

[Russellkhan]

@caljenlou Put it in a clean bottle and cook with it again later.

[pilotgirlie]

Smile ladies! I wanna see your pearly whites! And try to eliminate the "umms" :)

I love your videos!

[balmoral123]

Hi Thank you for sharing the recipe. Everything went well however the edges of the samosa crust was hard as rock. Any thoughts?

[nanu969]

hi just wanted to say this is cool and insighting

i was also wondring if you can use this dough for samosas in the oven if not can you tell me a suitable dough recipe for the oven please and thanks

[arocks84]

I want to know that instead of making dough for the covering can I use wanton paper?

[iammadea2]

thank you ladies for sharing the making samosa recipe I just love them . your instructions are very though and easy to understand.I will visit you site again soon. also is it possible to prepare the samosas before you are actually ready to cook them?

[iammadea2]

thank you ladies for sharing the making samosa recipe I just love them . your instructions are very though and easy to understand.I will visit you site again soon.

[eezenwa]

i tried making this today.  Almost burned my kitchen o!!! I think i will just buy it at the stores.

[MissPamela89]

ok so I tried making the samosas, it was a different recipe I got from a pakistani recipe book and oh boy were they delicious!

[MissPamela89]

hi there, i always watch your shows and think that it's a great thing that you do (sharing tips and great recipes to everyone). I would just like to know if i can use something else instead of carrom seeds or would it make a difference if i don't use it at all. please reply in detail and thanks again!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MissPamela89 : Carrom Seeds are used in certain dishes to help with digestion and the flavor is not too bad either. You can skip it and the samosas will still taste good.

[akemp7777]

I just wanted to let everyone know I tried baking these tonight. I made the dough with half white half whole wheat pastry flour and the dough came out the same. I brushed the samosas with oil and baked them at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then flipped the samosas over and baked them for 10 more minutes. They came out nice but obviously they taste better and puff up better when they are deep fried. But baking is always a healthy option for those watching their weight:-)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@akemp7777 : THANK YOU for sharing that information with us and our viewers :)

[shahhhhhhhhhhhhh]

the shape of my samosas were not good , very funny shapes ,,,,can u give me some more tips for shaping samosas

[LogicNYC]

No baking powder in the dough?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@LogicNYC : Nope :)

[JoaoIBSilva]

Hi! Looks really tasty!!! Just one question, can i freeze the the crust paste before use, and if so how long should i leave it to rest before freezing it?

Cheers

[pinktrush]

hello hetal and anuja i always follow your recipe. is there anyway i can bake samosas???

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@pinktrush : Although we have never tried to bake them but are preety sure it is possible. You will have to experiment with the temp. and times... :(

Let us know if you do, it'll be really helpful for us and other viewers.

[pinktrush]

hello Hetal and anuja is there anyway i can bake samosas???

[Florr07]

I am so lucky I came across this video! I love Indian food and everything about India! I will start trying out these great recipes.. Thank you!!

[caresaboutall]

I never knew they were so much work, now I will enjoy them even more.

[iroc31407]

can the mango powder be omitted if it is not available or is it a must have?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@iroc31407

Yes, you can omit it and add a little lemon/lime juice.

[kolkattaindia]

Thanks to you both....tried some of your recipes, very delicious, you make it so easy to follow......

[kolkattaindia]

Thanks to you both.....always love your shows, you make it so easy..tried some of your recipes very delicious...

[milu606]

uhhh in my language this looks more like shingara not samosa

[Powerboy777]

WOOOW I'm sorry... but there's no way i can do that 2:13

[farakalam]

I tried out n my dough is hard to roll, I try hard to roll it thin but its not wrkng wel, pls help me out coz I wanna try out sooooon!!!!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@farakalam

If you followed the recipe measurements exactly, the dough should not be hard to roll.

[geoffp13]

@farakalam I always have problems with dough too, so I cheat a little and use pre-made wonton wrappers....they work great!!

[HeyyHuda]

i like the end the best when hetal was cracking up

hahah

you guys are cute!

[farakalam]

u both r giving us great recipes,thanks aloooot, i tried out the samosa but the dough is not geting stretch while rolling,what could i do 4 it

[pinkbarbiegirl2009]

hetal is a fat ass than anuja! she always eats firsts! calm down dude and wait a while be4 u eat.... dont choke!

[whipwhip]

Kinda similar to empanada.. I love the giggle at the end =))

[giyeonjang]

can u do a video about how to make a banana bread?

i tried 1 recipe but it was horrible so i am afraid to do try another banana bread recipe.

[xxRAWRriannexx]

I'm not indian or anything but I love Indian food samosa is my favorite

[TopazSkillMauler]

I just like watching cooking vids. But i order samosa from my local restraunt

[neil2090]

do you have to add the lemon juice or can i omit it from this recipe and just add more water

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@neil2090

We were told (motherly advice) that the lemon juice makes the crust crispier :), but you can leave it out and sub more water if you like.

[neurocosm]

This is ridiculous. You two are very cute. It is the human things that make life so enjoyable. In this case, it is your smiles and laughter. :)

I am going to try this, What else can one stuff in there? For instance, rather than potatos, how about some mashed chunky cauliflower? (with peas!) mmm,

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@neurocosm

Thanks for your support :). We like to use potatoes because they absorb moisture whereas cauliflower will tend to release moisture and make the crust soggy. You could use cauliflower but just add a bit of potato to it.

[leftyla]

I tried this recipe last night!! It's EXCELLENT!! Thanks! P.S. I just subscribed to your channel. So many recipes I want to try!

[tinkupittu]

@leftyla You really really really should try the other Indian snacks like Bhel Puri, Pani Puri, Masala Puri etc. We call them Chaat, and they're best eaten when it's raining!!!!! That's just a little something we Indians love to do! <3

[ndnflava]

is egg or water better to use as a binding agent???

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ndnflava

Water works perfectly well so no need to use one additional ingredient. :)

[mingalabaa]

Is there a place I ac buy pre made-samosa wrap ?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mingalabaa

We have not seen pre-made wraps, but some people "cheat" and use flour tortillas :). The texture is not quite like the real thing, but it's an option.

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

i wanna try this

[Aluess]

I'm Mexican but I love Indian recipes Thank youuuu.. I will try today making samosas

[TwazADream]

YUM

[zairt]

thanks a lot for the recipe.....u guys really rock..def will try it!

[desicoolchick]

hi hetal and anuja,

just a quick question, why do u add the lemon juice in the samosa crust? and have a suggestion for u, wen making the pastry try using warm water,this makes the samosas crispy,

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@desicoolchick : Besides the flavor, we were told it also makes the crust cripsy :)

Will try the warm water trick, thanks for sharing :)

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

@ShowMeTheCurry

can i use chickpea and fava flour instead of all purpose. i'm going to try it anyways.. i love your videos.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@freakoutguitarsolo1

Sorry, we have not tried it with that combination of flours. If you try it, we'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks.

[Thestargazer000]

where do you usually get all your foreign spices

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Thestargazer000 : We are lucky and have quite a few Indian Grocery stores around in our area but if you don't, there are a lot of websites where you can buy online.

Hope that helps :)

[Shintolive]

Can I replace all those spices with the curry only ? Thank u .

@Shintolive : Did you mean Curry Powder? Yes, you can add the spices of your choice but this is the traditional way of seasoning the filling of the samosa.

Enjoy:)
