Serve
For a lower-fat option, bake the samosas at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush them with a little oil before baking for a better color and texture. You can also use an air fryer.
Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour (atta) for a more rustic and fiber-rich pastry.
Add other vegetables like sweet corn or bell peppers. For a non-vegetarian version, you can use minced chicken or lamb cooked with the same Goan spices.
The potatoes and flour in the samosa provide complex carbohydrates, which are a primary source of energy for the body.
Spices like turmeric, cumin, and carom seeds are not only flavorful but are also known in traditional medicine for their digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.
The filling, rich in vegetables like carrots, peas, and onions, contributes dietary fiber, which is essential for good digestive health.
The key lies in three things: a stiff dough, frying on low heat, and not overcrowding the pan. A stiff dough absorbs less oil, and slow frying ensures the pastry cooks through evenly, resulting in a crisp, bubble-free crust.
Yes, you can. For baking, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F), brush the samosas with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes. For an air fryer, brush with oil and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
One Goan Vegetable Samosa contains approximately 270 calories, primarily from carbohydrates in the pastry and potatoes, and fats from the ghee and deep-frying oil.
While delicious, this samosa is a deep-fried snack and is high in calories and fat, so it should be enjoyed in moderation. The vegetable filling provides some fiber and nutrients. For a healthier version, consider baking or air-frying them.
Store leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat and retain crispiness, place them in a preheated oven or an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid using a microwave as it will make them soggy.
