No, this is not your traditional samosa, packed with aromatic potato filling, rather a pizzastic (pizza+fantastic) taste to it. Rather than on a flat pizza bread the toppings and cheese are wrapped in samosa shape, thinly made sheets, and later deep fried.
Since many of us are not preferring to eat from the restaurant, cafes, etc, for a while given the COVID 19 SITUATION recipes like these really uplift your lockdown blues and bring a broad smile on your faces!
The outer layer is crispy and once you bite into it, the cheese floods your mouth with the crunchiness of corn and capsicum. It is drool-worthy and you won’t stop at just a few of these. You and your folks will want more and more of it.
What is samosa?
A type of snack that has always been around, 90 birthdays and family gatherings were incomplete without Samosa along with green and sweet tamarind chutney. And even before that and till now it will always have a fan following.
The most famous variety that you will find everywhere in India is where the out crispy layer is made using maida and the filing comprises of potato filling with tempering of herns such as fennel seeds, coriander seeds, pomegranate seeds, dry mango powder, and many aromatic spices and then deep-fried and served piping hot.
As a famous street snack in Northern India, it is often served with White chickpea gravy, chutney, and a side salad of onions. It’s amazing, a must-try.
