[showhaa]

Dear Manjula ... Which kind of Oil you are using ?? it's not clear for me to hear it... Thank you so much!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@showhaa

I like to use canola oil.

[kaju1388]

Manjula!!! some pav baji!!! can you help this mexican girl how to make some??, i see you have another mexican fan! im from tamaulipas Mexico, currently in texas with a gujarati boyfriend

[lizthewizful]

I always heard that I should add ajwain to the pastry. Is that true? Why or why not. Thanks :)

[PrincessfromVenus]

I Just want to say HELLO from mexicali, Baja California, México... I Love Manjula !

[hasi420]

Thankyou for this video, not how I would make them but I love watching you cook and talk makes me think of my mum.

I will give them a try though.

[vjsneh]

can i use dis recipe for making samosa in oven instead of frying.

[dalisma96]

i love samosa a lot..cnt wait to make this..

[k2s3p]

Hello Manjula Aunty,

I really appreciate your wonderful recipes and the pain you take in making them. You explanation is very detailed and elaborate. I had a quick question.

Is there a specific reason to use luke warm water for kneading the dough? I remember for the khasta kachori you had used chilled water for the dough. How does the temperature of the water affect the dough and the final crust of the kachori/samosa...

[Manjulaskitchen]

@k2s3p Kneading the dough with different water temperature gives a different texture to the crust.

[FabricsNThings]

@k2s3p Using luke warm water is a tip/ trick to get a smooth dough/

[azizataurus]

thank you manjula and Gods bless

[sweetjamgirl1]

Love your recipes. Have a nice day

[audreyxxx2003]

Thank you Manjula you are so good!!

[khushisourabh]

i love ur recipies manjula



[Fagorice01]

Manjula I looooove samosas! I thank you for sharing this recipe :)

Do i have to use a different flour mixture to bake these samosas in the oven?

[anjumhassan]

aunty u r so sweet.u hav an uncanny resemblance with my mom.my mom passed just a few months ago,due to stomach cancer.and i miss her alot.

[damaskmedia]

what is the purpose of suji? love your recipes!

[kinner78utube]

hi, I don't have garam masala and there are no indian store here in my city... can I replace it with something else?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@kinner78utube

Do without Garam Masala

[hrWladyslaw]

@kinner78utube

A typical Punjabi version of garam masala is: black & white peppercorns cloves malabar leaves mace blades black & white cumin seeds cinnamon black, brown & green cardamom pods nutmeg star anise coriander seeds

[Seyahhsod]

@kinner78utube

garam marsala is just a mixture of spices.

A very basic garam masala could be made out of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and nutmeg.

try using allspice it tastes a lot like graham Marsala.

try using allspice it tastes a lot like graham Marsala

BUT REMEMBER, garam masala is a mixed spice, with cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, cassia bark, fennel seeds, nutmeg and cardamon seeds both black and green.

Hope this helps.

[123skullmaker]

@kinner78utube you can just make fresh garam masala and blend it up into a fine powder

[devkoel]

can u make a samosa without suzi??? i want to make it but i dont have suzi rightnow

[Manjulaskitchen]

@devkoel

yes you can do that.

[Manjulaskitchen]

[guineapigworld8232]

Real good samosas.......

[piiyu1]

what is sooji?



[Manjulaskitchen]

@piiyu1

samolina

[Opentotruth1]

@Manjulaskitchen Is this flour from wheat? I need a gluten free flour, what do you recommend? Also I would use a different oil other than Canola because canola is one of the biggest GMO crops. Thank-you for Sharing all your love through cooking. Namaste, Chetana

[SovereignOfSpice]

@Manjulaskitchen can I substitute samolina with besan or durum?

[Sulki2000]

Hello, Manjulaben, We see your receipes, and all are sooo easy to make, as we see

your video and do it. Thanks a lot. U have made my life easy. We will keep on looking at it. The video is the one easy to see and make it more easy. Thanks again.

[deadbeatdad]

No tumeric powder or hing? How about onions? Thanks Manjula...you're my hero!

[Swizzlestick1000]

mango powder is also called amchur or amchoor, you will find it in most asian supermarkets.

[JuneGemini000]

I have tried for samosa recipes for a very long time, i never got the samosa crust in the perfect texture. I tried your method and it came out perfectly . My family also loved it, thank you so much on behalf on my family and myself.  Thanks a lot auntiji.

[dianne2061]

Thank you, lovely lady, for the great recipe. Your instructions are soo easy to follow!

[GrapeLola]

I really like the fact that this makes a small batch, thanks!

[rekha0337]

I love your all recipies especially this one....

[doresg323]

Hi...I heard some people use sour curd or plain yogurt in the samosa or puri dough. do you know what difference it makes?

[Naemee62]

I like your videos so much, but sinds many of the ingredients are no familiar to the western, can you please, write de ingredients names in subtitles or in the description, because it is very hard to understand some times, and I don't know the names you say..

Thank you very much!

[learninghow2cook2011]

my dough was really sticky..:( do u happen to know why?

[kaju1388]

can i make the recipe without mango powder. i have been looking for it and it tok me 3 days to find the spices, but didnt find the mango powder :S

[Manjulaskitchen]

@kaju1388

Yes do without mango powder use few drops of lemon juice.

[stollney]

@kaju1388 u go to an indian store n ask them for amchur, u'll find.. this is hw i got it...

[ishasehdev19]

Steph

[18sonikuri]

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[tiramisuAsylum]

Aunty i made it already! hahahaha everyone loved it and want me to make it again :D i had a problem only the wrapper is much harder i think i should roll it even thinner or i shouldnt fry the samosa too long? thx for this recipe again

[linzee4584]

Seriously, Indian food is the best! I'm vegetarian and I eat Indian food all the time because there is such a variety. Wish I could cook like this though. Thanks for the videos!

[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

[MYSHAYAANKHAN]

can you please tell me that how can my gulab jamun come out soft i made them but after putting them in sheera they kind of hard thank you

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MYSHAYAANKHAN

make sure fry the gulab jamun on low heat and make the dough soft if the dough is dry add little more milk.

[tiramisuAsylum]

We always buy these :D i will try to make it myself now Thank you so much Aunty! I knew you will add the redchill powder hahahaha we love spicy food ^^

[jessicaiyer]

what can we replace with coriander powder?

[sats318]

Awesome video. I notice that my samosas are not crisp. What should i do to make the crust crisp ?

[shaunfaris]

Ms. Manjula-you're a brilliant woman! I tried several x's to make these samosa's and have failed continuously! I am American married 2 a Pakistani and I came across your video! What a blessing! I have never gave up and today is our EID celebration-my husband is glowing after having these delicious SAMOSA'S!! Thank you

I also love the way you speak, clear, precise and easy to follow instructions, I am referring ALL my friends to you!

[Esunshine71]

what we can replace mango powder with?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Esunshine71

If you don’t have mango powder use Lemon juice.

[saexm]

can i add red chilli flakes into the mixture?

[happylittlemonk]

Thank you. Very good video. I am going to make some for my friends using your recipe. I have just one suggestion, it would nice to write the ingredient on the screen at the end or at the bottom so I know what they are.

[WizkidDreamer28]

I just want to say that I love you forever now! My mother's always been too afraid to try and make samosas, but they're my favorite food and when we moved we couldn't find any good restaurants that sold them. You've made my year!

[nirmeen76]

hello aunti Manjula, thx 4 the recipe I love samousa. May I ask what role does the sooji have in the samousa dough? Is it for taste or does it have to do with texture? thanks again

[Manjulaskitchen]

@nirmeen76 sooji is added for the texture.

[lapizlapicero]

Manjula thanks, shukria, gracias, brigada, merci for everything upload, post, explain clearly, nicely and extremely perfect your advices, recipes, ingredients, tips and expend your time for others people like me (a latin person who loves indian food!)

[m123logi]

[virusvial]

i don't have one of the things that you have and i wanted to make it with the stuff that i have with at home and my mom makes rotti not often though im tamil but ya i was wondering if my mom made rotti can i use that dough?

[curiousandlooking]

Thank you for this recipe!

My dough did not come out right? it was so soft I couldn't make the cones? Should I put the dough in the fridge before trying to roll and make the cones? HELP

[Manjulaskitchen]

If dough is too soft  then add some more flour otherwise keeping in the fridge will help.

[Souleyefilms]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[AJSwisgirl]

whoaaaaaaaaaaa that's is the only dish i crave for, I love it!

Thank you..

[hepner]

aww you remind me of my mom

[seanarrative]

@hepner I wish my mom made amazing indian food :(, all what we eat are american/ italian/ asian foods.

[rhythms11]

Haha when i was watching you make the filling,It reminded me of my Grandma her filling turned out the same way :)

[alaiiinalan]

just ate this recipe and boy was it good! i think i rolled out my dough wrong tho cuz they were super small. next time will double recipe.

[vandirify]

Tried the recipe.

The filling was very nice, but I did'nt like my dough because it was 'nt crispy. I did 'nt use the semolina, only the all purpose wheat. Could this be the reason ? Also I replaced the oil for ghee... maybe better not ?

And, Manjula: I like very much your way of making these videos. Go on with it !!

[fekss]

my guyanese friend gave some of samosa and roti.. i actually love it and the home made hot sauce they're making is awesome..

[Imjat2002]

Hello Manjula Aunty,

Thanks a lot for all your recipes. Can you please tell me how many grams of maida does your half a cup make? You use the same cup for measurement in almost all your recipes,so it'll be useful.Its difficult to find the similar cups in Japan. Thanks

[vassrini2001]

1 cup = 236 mg and 1/2 cup = 118 mg

hope this information helps you

[beachkrp]

A cup is an official unit of measurement.

A cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces (fl. oz or just oz).

An ounce is approximately 29 milliliters so a cup is about 236 milliliters (NOT MG vassrini2001)

ALSO, teaspoon and tablespoon are also official units of measurement.

A tablespoon (tbs) is one half ounce so, 15 milliliters.

There are 3 teaspoons (tsp) to a tablespoon (tbs) so a teaspoon is roughly 5 milliliters.

[hcvang]

Does anyone know what oils you cook samosas in? I have eaten samosa rom the "Taj Indian Restaurant" in Copenhagen many times, and I cannot copy the wonderful lavour.. it tastes as if they were boiled in special oil, or that maybe there is ghee or butter in the batter... anyone know?

[arabbint]

Namaste Manjula, so yummy,carn`t wait to make these! Thanks for your recipe`s xxx <3

[butterninja3021]

no u dont need to add mago powder

[STFUwretch]

[manisabazara]

do you think chickpeas wold be a good alternative to garden peas.

[Manjulaskitchen]

just vegetarian

[Roxie101]

question: does the filling have to be fried? Or, can i just put all the ingredients in, with the potatoes and peas boiled, wrap them w/ filo pastry and then fry them like that? Which way is better?

[seedzer]

no, this recipe is better, I tried a professional cooking recipe of this , they told to bake this , use pastry,

so I did , and I did liek this too, guess what this the best , real recipe to it , then me wasteing 50 dollars on professional cook book recipe

[flaschenbottles]

Is there ginger in this recipe? It is on your list, but not in your video. Thank you.

[Brownie508]

[flaschenbottles]

Ginger is on your list, but I didn't see it in the video. Does the dish include ginger?

[flaschenbottles]

Your video says to use 2 potatoes, but your list says to use 3. How many do I need?

[Manjulaskitchen]

[chillyhot01]

i tried your recipe and for the first time i made samosa it came really good!!! my husband liked it a lot lol :))

[aMiNaB3LLA]

You should be on the food channel up there with Emril! I bet you'd get high ratings!

[Antar16]

Hard to get indian spices here in Poland :/

[beachkrp]

The only thing that would be difficult would be the mango powder.

Most everything else is standard spices (at least in the US and especially in the Latin section of the supermarket)

according to Wikipedia sooji is Kasza manna in polish.

As far as garam masala, even in India all brands are different. I made and ground my own (uber-fresh). The only spice that might be hard to find in Poland would be cardamom, and you should find that as well.

Find amchoor on the internet, and make the rest.

[Harpreetdaroch]

hallo manjula ji. i really love your recipes i am from punjab and living in germany..actualy i need recipe for dahin bhallas,,i hope u do it for us,,thx again

[Manjulaskitchen]

Try daha vada recipe I already have this on you tube

[Reem20481]

i tried this recipe it was good...thanks manjula

[killament]

Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. I tried it today and baked the samosas instead of frying them. I used the same proportion of oil and baked them on pizza pan after spraying oil on the samosas. I baked them on 400 for 10 mins eachside. Of course there has to be a lil difference than frying them, but its a lot better than DEEP FRYING. My husband liked them alot and said they tasted like patties. If they were deep fried, he would have hardly eaten 1 samosa bt I m happy he ate 4 of them :)

[amanah50]

Hi...Manjula Aunty.

Please give me a recipe for 'Aloo Ki Tikki'.

thanks.

[Manjulaskitchen]

tikki is in my list to do

[catgirl1016]

Hi Manjula,

Can you bake these instead of frying? Hopefully not a silly question. I love samosas, but want to know if you can avoid frying them.

[Manjulaskitchen]

if you want to bake to avoid the oil, does not work because you will have to add the oil in crust lot more.

[Reem20481]

yes you can..

[MadamGul]

I really enjoy your videos. I've seen other Indian food videos and the hosts are kind of fake which is very distracting for people trying to learn how to cook. Keep up the good work!

[r2r2r2]

do I have to use mango powder and garam masala?? I have none!

[Manjulaskitchen]

feel free to add or take out any spice you like.

[r2r2r2]

can u make it without sooji??

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you can make without sooji

[coymelody]

Dear aunty,

if you don't have amchur, can u make it without? Please let me know. I really want to make your recipe.

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can make without using amchoor.

[sea786]

manjula aunty ...can i use rice flour instead of sooji or i hav to put sooji for the samosa crust ...plzzzzzzzzzz aunty plzzzz reply me...thank u
