  • 1 tbsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix Mohini Bhog Aata, oil, salt, and water to form a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside for 15-20 minutes.

  6. Cut each circle into two halves. Shape each half into a cone and fill with onion mixture.
  7. Seal the edges with water and press gently to close the samosa.
  8. Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. Fry samosas on medium flame until golden and crisp.
  9. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with chutney or sauce.

Chef Tips

  • Ensure the dough is stiff for easy shaping.
  • Do not overfill samosas to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Fry on medium heat for even cooking and crispness.
  • Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
