Ingredient Highlights



  • Yukon Gold Potatoes: Naturally creamy, making the filling rich and satisfying.
  • Aromatic Spices: Garam masala, curry powder, cumin, and chili powder infuse deep, warming flavors.
  • Cilantro & Lemon Juice: Fresh, bright elements that balance the richness of the potatoes.
  • Spring Roll Wrappers: A convenient alternative to traditional samosa dough, ensuring extra crispiness.

Pro Tips for Perfect Samosas

  • Cool the filling before assembling: This prevents the wrappers from becoming soggy.
  • Seal tightly: Press the edges firmly to avoid oil seeping in while frying.
  • Use a high-smoke-point oil for frying: Vegetable or peanut oil works best for a crisp, golden exterior.
  • Fry in batches: Overcrowding the pan lowers the oil temperature, leading to soggy samosas.

Frequently Asked Questions



Can I bake instead of frying?

Yes! Brush with oil and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

What dipping sauces pair well with samosas?

Tamarind chutney, mint chutney, or even a spiced yogurt dip complement them perfectly.

Can I freeze these?

Absolutely! Assemble and freeze uncooked samosas in a single layer, then fry straight from frozen—just add an extra minute to the cooking time.
