How To Make a Triangular Samosa

[kantilieris]

πολυ ωραιο πως το εκανες το κατουρησες??

[dhawan167]

i like the clapping part. in samosa there is boiled potato peas with salt red chilli powder dhania powder & amchur.

[irrahimismail]

your hand :O

[spicedupspy]

Thanks for sharing the technique. Can the samoza wrapped in spring roll work, and can it be baked?

[epoppie]

@spicedupspy You could use spring roll wrappers but the shape is usually square - so you'd have to cut rectangles out of them. You can bake them but they won't taste as good, I'm afraid :)

[maruti21]

thanks a loy for this video...taught me how to make a triangular shape for samosas!!

[epoppie]

@maruti21 You're welcome, glad that you found it helpful :)

[epoppie]

@MrBinny65

This video is all about showing to fold a triangular samosa but if you scroll through my comments you'll find that the recipe which I used is mentioned many times.

[taniahaque1]

Thnx for add this video. I really learn 2 make Somoza from ur vedio.

[epoppie]

@taniahaque1 You're welcome :)

[thepcgamewalkthrough]

Love the little hand-clap at the end, lol. It's what I would do too, if I ever got the folds right! =)

@epoppie How many samosas will that make?

[riariariadixit]

@epoppie you have also used carrots...am i right...and peas as well.....

[UJSID89]

you made it look so easy...i am an amateur when it comes to cooking...it all looks like rocket science to me lol! thanks!! :D

[epoppie]

@UJSID89 Believe me, I'm an amateur too! If I can make these samosas then anyone can, just practice a little and you'll soon get it :)

[dogarizm]

can anybody plz tel me wat size r dose pads/sheets?? coz da 1s i'v got r way too big to mak da final fold instead i jus hav to stick da extra sheet on da outer part :@

[epoppie]

@dogarizm 24cm x 7cm

[BenjaminGoose]

Thanks for this, seems the folding is more simple than I thought.

[epoppie]

@BenjaminGoose

You're welcome!

[MsDemented]

flour*



[MsDemented]

my mother uses a four paste to fold samosa.. does the samosa stay together even if you dont use that paste?..

[epoppie]

@MsDemented

You would need to use something to seal the edges; I use beaten egg to bind the edges but a flour/water paste would probably work just as well

[mgyan93]

What is your recipe for the filling?



[hhcamprock]

hello, this has helped me so much!

however, are you american?

i havnt got a clue what samosa pads are? what is the british form/name of that? x

[epoppie]

@hhcamprock Hi, glad you found this helpful. Nope, I'm in the UK. You should be able to find the samosa pads/sheets/pastry sheets in any Asian (Indian) supermarket. The best brand that I've come across is 'Switz' but they're hard to find.

[hhcamprock]

@epoppie Thankyou!

[ronikapur]

what was it? the cover of samosa??(the triangular shape, wrapper)

[epoppie]

@ronikapur

Hi, they're called samosa pads or samosa sheets. You can get them in many supermarkets - but that could depend on where you live! :)

[jofish997]

At long last I can stop swearing when I next attempt to make them lol. Thankyou epoppie. x

[epoppie]

@jofish997

You're welcome! :)

[LatymerFish]

THANANANANANANANAKKKKKYOUUUUU do u know how long it took me to work it out on my own....... 4 hours.. :) I feel like the Buddha wen he was enlightened

[epoppie]

@LatymerFish

Hehe :)

[Dedann64]

Can someone please tell me where I can find Samosa pastry in NY?

[sweetshyl]

@Dedann64

you can get it in any Indian or Asian store. Just search for an all-purpose spring roll pastry..

[Dedann64]

@sweetshyl Thanks

[sweetshyl]

@Dedann64

no problem at all.. hope you will enjoy the samosa soon..

[kumkumsum]

perfect,,,

thnxx

[youcookworld]

hi would you mind uploading your excellent video to youcookworld dotcom site pls

[wickiezulu]

Does anyone know if its possible to order the Samosa pads online?

[epoppie]

@wickiezulu where are you based?

[wickiezulu]

@epoppie Never mind, I managed to find myself some samosa pads

[princesscreative]

cool... very helpful, esp when i'm living far from home and is definitely craving for samosa... i also tried the recipe for the filling online.

the result, together with the art of folding learnt here, was none less than fantabulous! :)

[epoppie]

@princesscreative

Great to hear that :)

[bobribbon]

Thanks... super!

[spacyfoil]

@epoppie LOL I think it was the clapping in the end.

The Samosa was great, perfect triangle though. LOL doesn't matter if the cook is ahem.....Macho or not.

[maham091]

wow this is just great. I have been triyng to make samosas out of these spring roll sheets for ever. Every time I tried to make a perfect triangle I failed. This video is really helpful and I am going to surprise everyone now with the best professional looking samosas. Thankyou epoppie.

[epoppie]

You're welcome! :)

[armaan90]

Perfect triangle = applause! Thanks for posting.

[epoppie]

@armaan90 You're welcome! :)

[StopFundingIsrael]

5 STARS... Thank you my kids need this video to make nacho samosas =0)



[kinkyhann]

thanks a million for this lesson.. i've been trying means and ways to do the samosa at last i know how it's done... thanks again...

[MoreTimeThanYouThink]

Well at last I have some good instructions... thank you very much for your help. They make excellent food while racing offshore.. am going to make loads of them; good for crew moral!

[Iraqimetal]

nice triangle , will take me ages to do it lol thanks for posting

[sunn233]

I really need help urgently. Going to prepare some Samosas for my girl's party next week. I have the ingredients cooked up as like for curry puffs but am at a lost as to what skin/pastry you use here (which looks perfect!) .... do you think I can freeze it (after being put into the skin and folded of course) and let it be fried/baked later? Please advise. I love the way you've folded it ... reminds me of Samosas I've eaten back home. Thanks.

[epoppie]

@sunn233 Hiya. I use 'samosa pads', available at most Asian food stores. If you can't find them near you, you could try a few sheets of filo pastry though they're a bit more fiddly to use and don't taste quite the same! Yes, you can freeze them once they're made, freeze them in one layer in a tray first, once they're frozen, you can take them out and store them any way - otherwise they'll stick to each other when still unfrozen! Hope it goes well! :)

[soulfighter82]

Nice :P Im very bad at making em...

[SkyBuster3000]

I like onion beef + chease. Its my fav

[Ruby7595]

@SkyBuster3000 *cheese

[sanaumer3]

Thanks so much, im not asian my hubby is so now i will try this way i always made the full square way & its just does not get crisp in the center like the tri does. Thanks again i LOVE ALL SAMOSA types!! Aloo is my fav.

[068tuneagon]

do i have to clap my hands?

[epoppie]

Only if you make a perfect triangle :P

[xxhunnyy]

how many samosa does the stuffin makes?

[epoppie]

Maybe enough for 20-25 samosas

[Fayjina]

I dont know where to get these ":somosa" pads and phyllo sheets rips so easily! Quite honestly i make my own somosa dough from scratch but i like the lighter crisper dough. I cant wait until i make these tonight and have it with my homemade tamarind chutney! OoOoo

[epoppie]

Oh, these are easily available where I live! I wish I could make my own dough but have never been successful. It'd be great if you're able to share your recipe, including the tamaring chutney one :)

Cheers

[ketandev]

Now THIS is what you call a samosa!!!

Not like those giant pyramids you see in shops. They even taste like garbage.

[09arey]

I wish i would have reviewed this prior to my attempt at helping friends make samosas today. i couldnt quite get the folding technique.

[cornelioushuxtable]

you made that look easy

[epoppie]

I'm sure you can do it too, just a little practice :)

[flamingangel123]

wow...thanks...really needed that!

[ichiseo]

holy sh.........i could use this technique to make samose that arent all messy, thanks

[treeman2007]

its called sambusa in arabic

[epoppie]

Thanks!

[Destinay4lyf]

there are many ways to make a triangle with a samosa or what we call Sambusa..

my mother uses a square and cutes it diagonally and turns out as a triangle and then its pretty easy to make it 3D

[epoppie]

Indeed there are! You should film your mother's technique and add it to Youtube - in case people can't get hold of the rectangular pastry sheets.

[20afghan09]

emmm looks good

[wackyworld08]

thanks alot ..its so esay and i didn't know how to make it triangle......

[teacake33]

[LuvingLost1]

[epoppie]

I hope you managed to make them after watching the video!?

[LuvingLost1]

You can buy samosa pads from most South-East Asian (Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi) grocery shops :)

[Karaokemaster2008]

[nazofun]

Hope it helps ;D

[fauzifti]

[nooona78]

[epoppie]

You're welcome, hope they came out well!

[dancingsatyr]

U SAVE MY LIFE with this video! god bless u and the guy that sold u the samosa wrap pasta x

[epoppie]

May God bless you too and guide us all on the right path!

[dancingsatyr]

:D thanks!

[ATPADPenergy]

I'm certain you can also use water to hold the edges of the folded pastry in place. My parents also use spring roll wrap. In any case the filling is the most important aspect of preparation - spices and primarily potatoes. It's believed that even seeing or smelling the aromas of food trigger the production of insulin, which is vital in your body's utilization of glucose.

[epoppie]

Yup, you can use water too but if you find a small crack in the pastry as you're making it the egg works as a better sealant :)

[darles35]

when i watch video about food, it making me greedy to eat it..lolzz...

[Fawkes786]

What's the difference between an egg roll pastry and a spring roll pastry?

[wingnut3005]

Well I belive that it is probably just what you put in them. Spring rolls are served cold while egg rolls are fried.

Hope this helps.

[ltp1112]

My friend's mum makes the best samosas ever! and uses the same pastry as this one.

[dancingsatyr]

can i give u my address so u can send some over? :)

[icelings]

*claps* well done!

[khaltubibi]

This video uses what looks like spring roll pastry. The best ready made pastry is egg roll pastry, and a flour water mixture makes a better glue. This is more of a Somali samboosa than a samosa, except samboose is mostly meat and tastes MUCH better.

[semiafrom118]

its so easy to make the pastry, i prefer home made ones, all you need is flour, this could be all purpose flour, some water, vegetable oil or butter and salt to taste.

[shahil224]

the dough is not true samosa dough, it's more like the pastry used for egg rolls...not truly indian. This type is typical of samosas made in british indian restaurants. quite terrible if you ask me...

[epoppie]

Hmm these samosas aren't attributed to being Indian. They're made using Middle Eastern pastry, with a Punjabi Pakistani filling, in the UK by someone with an American accent! :)

NB the brand I use is much nicer than the generic Indian restaurant style pastry that you seem to have experienced :) Oh, and it's fat free :D

[chriskoja]

Do you use Puff Pastry or Filo Dough?

I could't tell from the video. Your Samosa looks absolutly perfect in shape. I'm sure it tastes just as good! Please tell us about the dough, as to what you used here.

[epoppie]

Hi, I don't use either. You can buy rectangular 'samosa pads' from most Asian food stores; they're often made in SouthEast Asia or the Middle East. I recommend the 'Switz' brand. All the best! :)

[dosomethin24]

where can i buy Switz brand samosa leaves?

[karoju82]

i love this, make more videos! you have a great voice for this and i love samosas and food videos! hahaha

[Munafiqun]

Hi..hw do u prepare samosa cover..with which dough..??

wheat flour,rice flour..???cn u plz tell me... u hav prepared very neatly...thts gud...

[DisneyMedia]

oh yeah please post a video for the prepaid mix please

[epoppie]

A video of the pre-made mix would be at least 30 minutes long ... and I think you'd get bored of watching potatoes and vegetables boiling :D

[Munafiqun]

Hi...hw do u prepare samosa's cover..with which flour..??? and is it a roasted sheet dough or unroasted sheet....???

u hav prepared very neatly.....

Many Thanks.......

[epoppie]

Hi sorry for the delay! I actually used store-bought samosa pastry sheets - they weren't homemade. If you take a look at Manjula's videos, she has one of the pastry recipe :)

[DisneyMedia]

oh my gosh.....u kidnapped and indian lady***

[epoppie]

Lol, I'm the lady ... but am not Indian :)

[niqueloc]

ooooooh samosas are bomb

[epoppie]

Done :D

[evabobeva]

the potato/veggie one :)

[epoppie]

Eva: Would you like the potatoe/veggie filling or the mince lamb/peas filling recipe? :)

[evabobeva]

it's a pretty samosa!! how do you make the stuffing that goes inside?

[epoppie]

Thank you, I know :)

[jennah7683]
