Prepare Stuffing for Samosa

In a mixing bowl add finely chopped onions. I am using 2 medium sized onions.
To this add finely chopped ginger and Coriander leaves. If you prefer you may also use finely chopped green chilies.
Next add the spice powders. I am using Red chili powder, Coriander powder, Cumin powder, Garam Masala , Turmeric powder and Salt.
Combine everything. Now the filling for Onion Samosa is ready.

Fold Samosa.

In a bowl add corn flour and water and combine without lumps. We use this paste for sticking the folded samosa.
Take a samosa sheet. It is rectangle in shape. Fold from one end like a triangle shape.
Follow the pattern and fold two more times it will resemble a cone now.
Stuff the prepared filling to the cone.
Now with the remaining portion of samosa sheet fold once again. To the corner of the samosa spread the prepared corn flour paste.
Stick the folded portion and the samosa is now ready to cook. Follow the same pattern for rest of the samosa.

Cook Samosa Method 1 - Air fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 400 F / 200 C for 5 mins. Place the prepared samosa in air fryer basket. Brush or Spray oil to the samosa.
Air fry at 356 F / 180 C for 12 mins. Make sure you flip them once halfway and brush or spray oil. Healthy air fryer Onions samosas are now ready.

Method 2 - Stove top

Heat a heavy pan with oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot drop in the samosa and fry in a medium flame. Cooking in high flame might burn the samosa , so make sure you cook them in medium to low flame.
Once it's golden, crisp, and cooked remove it from the oil and drain in paper towels to remove excess oil. Tasty Onion samosa is now ready.

Notes

Tips and Variations

I am using store bought samosa sheets for this recipe. However we can also make them home. Here is the recipe for homemade samosa sheets.

Usually samosa sheets can be seen in the frozen section or freezer in super markets.

We can also replace the onion stuffing with any of your favorite filling.

Makes a perfect snack for any occasions.

Serving Suggestions

Samosas are a great evening snack to go with some hot Tea. Makes a mast combo. We also have them any time of the day as a snack. It goes well with ketchup or Green Chutney.

Storing Options

Samosa tastes good only when served hot and crispy. Do not suggest storing or freezing the cooked Samosa. Instead we can fold the samosa with stuffing and store in air tight boxes for 4 days in fridge. We can also freeze them up to 3 months. Thaw them for a while and fry or air fry as you prefer.
