About Samosa
Swasthi Shreekanth’s Punjabi potato samosas enclose potato and peas in homemade wheat pastry. This profile selects the source’s traditional crushed-coriander and fennel-seed option, alongside the deep-fried preparation.
Carom seeds flavour the crust, while ginger, cumin, garam masala and red chilli season the filling. Lemon juice is the chosen tart seasoning; green chilli, asafoetida, fennel powder, cashews and onion remain optional.
The pastries have a crisp, flaky golden shell surrounding crumbly potato filling. Their sealed cone form stands upright, with tomato ketchup selected from the publisher’s serving choices.
