Short Summary For the Recipe ~

Preparing the onion and oats stuffing ~

Use finely chopped Onions i.e. 1 and a 1/2 cups. Into it then add 1/3 cup of oats, coriander powder 1/2 teaspoon, cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon, chili powder 1/2 teaspoon, cumin seeds 1/4 teaspoon, carom seeds 1/4 teaspoon, fennel seeds 1/4 teaspoon, salt 1/2 teaspoon or as required, green chili chopped 1, coriander leaves finely chopped 3 tablespoons, Give these a quick mix. Then add turmeric powder1/4 teaspoon, garam masala powder 1/4 teaspoon, mango powder 1/4 teaspoon, Mix these well. Finally, add ginger and garlic paste 1/2 a teaspoon and 1/3 cup of more oats into it and mix well using hands. Keep aside for later use.

Preparing the dough for the Samosas ~

To prepare the dough for the samosas we need 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Into it add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt 🧂, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon of red chili 🌶 powder. Mix these dry ingredients. Then add ghee I.e. clarified butter 🧈, gradually and start to mix using hands. Rub the flour with Ghee until it looks slightly crumbly and starts to hold a shape when pressed in between your hands. Now gradually add water as required and knead a soft and smooth dough. Cover and keep the dough to rest for 5 minutes.

Cutting and shaping of the Samosas ~

Uncover and divide into 6 to 7 dough balls and roll these thin one by one. Once I rolled out the dough ball I used a round shaped cutter to cut these out just to prepare even shaped samosas. Then further cut and divide the rolled-out dough right from the center as shown in the images below. Prepare all the samosa Patti together and keep it aside.

Folding of the Samosas ~

Next, fold the samosa Patti from both sides overlapping to each other preparing it a triangular-shaped kind. This prepares a small pocket in the center. Clear up the space in between to fill the samosa stuffing. Put around 2 teaspoons of onion samosa stuffing that we prepared and close the edges with the help of your fingertips. Make sure to close these tight so that no spices come out while you fry these.

Simply deep fry these in hot oil until turns golden in color and look crisp, Enjoy with your favorite chutney or sauces.

Preparing the Dough for the samosa ~

To prepare the dough for the samosas we need 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Into it add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt 🧂, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon of red chili 🌶 powder. Mix these dry ingredients.

Now when you know the dough is ready. Cover and keep aside just for 5 minutes and you should be good to go.

Uncover the dough and divide it into portions between 6 to 7.

Roll out each divided part of the dough thin

Cut them out using a round-shaped big-size cutter to make all the samosas even shaped.

Pull out the extras from the sides.

Take the cut out piece and roll it slightly again to make it thin

Divide them from the center equally using a knife 🔪

Prepare all and keep aside ready for filling. I personally prefer to prepare all together then immediately start filling these with the onion 🧅 stuffing,
