Delicious Onion Samosa: Teatime Treat
Samosas are a popular Indian appetizer, snack, or light meal. It is made with a fried pastry called samosa pastry, which is filled with potatoes, peas, and sometimes onions. The filling may be vegetarian or contain meat. The "Hyderabadi onion samosa" is a popular Indian snack food. It is a small, triangular-shaped snack typically prepared in a deep-fried, light, and crispy dough that is folded over with finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, and various spices. Crispy samosas with hot tea are something we Indians absolutely love. I am using ready-made samosa sheets in this recipe, making them much easier to make. Finely chopped onions are mixed with poha and spices. The poha, or flattened rice, absorbs excess moisture from the onions. The stuffing is filled inside patties and deep-fried until crispy and golden...
Onion samosas offer a complex and satisfying flavor profile. The crispy, golden pastry shell provides a delightful crunch with each bite. Inside, the caramelized onions are sweet and savory, with a subtle hint of tanginess from the sautéing process. The blend of spices adds a warm, earthy depth and a gentle heat that complements the sweetness of the onions. Fresh herbs like cilantro may introduce a hint of freshness, while the overall taste is rich and comforting, with a balanced mix of savory, slightly spicy, and aromatic notes. The combination of textures and flavors makes onion samosas a mouthwatering treat.
