Chocolate samosa is the most exciting fusion of classic Indian samosas into decadent indulgence in chocolate. The pastry, made with crispy layer after layer of flaky samosa and buttery layers of melted goodness with gooey chocolate, makes for the perfect dessert for anyone's palette. It is ideal for a party, festivals, or any cosy evening at home. It is straightforward and satisfying to cook at home. A traditional chocolate samosa begins with dough made out of thin sheets of pastry or a homemade sheet. Traditionally, the filling has always been vibrant, including the chocolate chips, chunks, or even the spread utilised by Nutella. Some versions even added nuts and marshmallows for texture and flavour. Samosas are folded, sealed, and deep-fried until golden brown. That way, there's a crispy outside but molten chocolate core inside. You can bake or air-fry them if you want a healthier version than the fried ones. On serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top, or drizzle them with chocolate syrup or some colourful sprinkles to create an eye-catching view. Chocolate Samosas is another recipe that only goes on to prove to be the perfect canvas for experimentation! Make your version of white chocolate, dark chocolate, or flavoured chocolates. Serve them hot, accompanied by a scoop of ice cream or a good cuppa to lose them in no time! Chocolate samosa is a creative dessert, and going through the recipe surely would mean delight in the fusing of flavours.
Ingredients required for Chocolate Samosa
- 100 gms dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp butter or ghee
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts
- 2 tbsp condensed milk
Cooking steps for Chocolate Samosa
- 1Make the dough to prepare samosas, either at home or perhaps by buying readymade samosa sheets for a quick fix. Take a bowl, put into it all-purpose flour and salt mixed with a little oil or ghee within the flour. Mix it up well, so it becomes like crumbs. Gradually add water and knead this into smooth, pliable dough. Cover it with a moist cloth and leave it there for approximately 20 minutes. While the dough is resting, you can make the chocolate filling. Chop up your favourite chocolate in little pieces or use chocolate chips. You may add some crushed nuts like almonds or hazelnuts for texture, or a spoonful of Nutella for more creaminess. Now you take the portions and roll each into a thin circle.
- 2Cut the circle in half to produce two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, tuck the edges over one another, and seal with a little water. Fill the cone with a generous spoon of the chocolate mixture, without overfilling as the chocolate might leak out during cooking. Tuck the open edge well, and press firmly for it to close perfectly well. Repeat this process until there is no more dough or filling left over. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Gently slide the samosas into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning them from time to time to cook evenly. You may also opt for a healthier version if you can help it: preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C) or use your air fryer. Brush the samosas lightly with oil and bake or air-fry them for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crisp. Transfer samosas to the plate lined with a paper towel so that all the excess oil will drain out after it's done. Let it cool a little before serving, so this chocolate gooey hot filling doesn't hurt while having it. Garnish with melted chocolate, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts for an excellent presentation. Serve it hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or over a hot beverage like coffee and tea.

- 4You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate; sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon and/or chilli powder onto the filling for a twist.
