Onion samosa recipe |Tea kadai samosa | irani samosa recipe – with step by step photos and video recipe. A deep fried snack recipe with homemade patties and ready made samosa sheets. Stuffed with masala Onion mix.
While I had it in the list, Samosa is broadly 2 different types – One is the simple triangular onion samosa/meat samosa that we get in tea shops mostly in south India. The other one is the north Indian variant that is used with mint chutney or sweet chutney and in chaat.
Here in this recipe, I have made sheets separately and cooked them as I was just planning to make 10-12 samosas and it was not a big deal. But if you are making a batch of it, Follow this recipe and she has clearly explained on that process. I always go for the easiest method if it doesn’t compromise on taste. 🙂 Honestly, I did not find any difference in the samosas made with that thin ready-made maida sheets and homemade wheat sheets.
While this south Indian tea kadai samosa is known as Burmese style samosa, It is the fact that this is not an Indian originated dish.
