The Ultimate Samosa Platter: How to Make Party-Perfect Mini Veg Samosas

Samosas are one of those things that everyone likes. Big or small, it does not matter. The mini ones are nice because you can eat them in one or two bites and still get that full flavour of a real samosa. They are small, crunchy and look nice on the table when guests come. You don’t need to buy them, they are easy to make at home too.

The filling is simple. Boiled potatoes, green peas, and some spices. When mixed with cumin, ginger, and a little chilli, it smells very good. The dough is also easy. Just flour, salt, oil, and water. You knead it till smooth and rest it for some time. The trick is to keep it a bit firm so that samosas become crispy when fried.

You roll the dough, cut it, and make small cones. Put a spoon of the potato mix inside and close the ends. Press them tight so they don’t open in the oil. Then you fry them slowly till golden brown. The kitchen smells so good when they start turning colour. The outside becomes crisp, and the inside stays soft and spicy.

You can serve them with mint chutney or tamarind chutney, or even tomato ketchup if that’s what you have. For parties, you can make a big batch and fry them just before guests arrive. You can even freeze some and fry later. They always taste nice, no matter when you make them.

When you see a big plate full of small samosas, it makes everyone happy. They are simple, homemade and full of flavour. You can never eat just one.
