The potli samosa is a new flavour of samosa. It differs in its more flavourful nature from ordinary samosas. These samosas are made into little pouches, or "potlis," which gives this delightful bite-size appeal. They are filled with a spiced mixture of potatoes, peas, and aromatic spices, offering every mouthful a rich, savoury taste. Making the Potli Samosa recipe is straightforward as it can be prepared with simple ingredients. First, boil potatoes along with peas and onions. Grind all spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric. Add the onions and spices into a pan and saut until fragrant. After that, add the potatoes and peas. Fry everything until well incorporated and the flavours have developed fully. It would be best to have samosa pastry sheets for the outer dough, or you can prepare it from scratch. The dough is cut into small squares, and the filling is placed in the centre. Edges are then gathered together and twisted in the shape of a small pouch or "potli." The potlis are deep-fried until they're golden and crispy. These potli samosas are great to be served as appetisers at parties or as a chutney snack. The uniqueness of the shape, the bursting of flavour, and the fun at any gathering will win your hearts. This potli samosa recipe is a great way to add variety to your samosa repertoire, sure to impress the guests with the delectable taste and fun presentation!
