Baked vegan samosa

Samosa is a deep fried snack.Most people love this spicy pastry with different fillings.Vegetarians love spicy potatoes, onions and peas.Non-vegetarians love minced meat or keema samosa.Dry fruit filled samosas are popular in Mathura. Another popular version is of onion filling Patti samosa in Andhra.Baked vegan samosa is our take on it.

Benefits of this recipe:

We bake it with minimal oil.Hence low in calories but still good in taste.Especially if you make samosa chaat,you will never know the difference.

Easy to bake too.Also,you enjoy your snack without feeling so guilty.

Baking is a great way to eat better.

It also contains healthier ingredients.We use wholewheat flour too sometimes in the pastry.

If you want to bake with wholemeal, ensure you use have plain flour and half wholemeal.

However,that will not be as crisp as the normal samosa.

You may use broccoli, carrots and peas in the filling if you want it healthier for kids.Or go with normal potatoes and peas.

Although former combination of broccoli looks strange,it tastes great in a samosa

Make these in advance for any party.

Bake them just before serving.

You can store them raw for longer periods in deep freezer.
