Gujarati samosa recipe | aloo matar samosa gujrati style

 

 

 

During my recent alibag visit my moms friend whom we call  as bhabhi  had made two dishes specially for me namely methi dhebra and second one was gujarati samosa which i enjoyed a lot

 

The samosa tasted just like  hotel samosa. got this recipe from bhabhi and was pleased with the results .the samosa tasted flaky from outside as opposed to the patti samosa which is a bot crispy in texture.

 

another difference in this recipe was normally after rolling roti i cook it for few seconds & then fold the samosa but in this i folded the samosa directly without precooking roti

 

 

Whether crisp and triangular, or big and conical, samosas are a universal favourite throughout the country.

 

 

The size and shape of a samosa, as well as the consistency of the pastry used, can vary considerably. It can be spicy and is often eaten with chutney, such as mint, coriander or tamarind
