Want a crispy aloo samosa recipe for evening tea, Ramadan, or guests? This golden, triangle-shaped snack is filled with spicy mashed potatoes and deep-fried until perfectly crispy. Aloo samosa is a must-have in South Asian homes — from street food stalls to family iftars.
It’s easy to make at home and can be frozen for later too.
📖 A Short Story:
When I was a child, I used to sit near the kitchen during Ramadan just to smell the samosas frying. My mother made them fresh every day and served with imli chutney. That smell and crunch still makes me feel at home.
🥗 Health/Benefits:
While deep-fried, you can make a healthier version by baking or air frying. Potatoes give energy and fullness. Homemade samosas avoid preservatives used in frozen ones.
🌍 Country of Origin: South Asia 🇵🇰🇮🇳
Samosas were brought to India centuries ago and became a famous snack in Pakistan and India. Aloo (potato) samosas are the most popular and budget-friendly snack ever.
