Onion Samosa Recipe (Updated)

Onion Samosa Recipe

Onion Samosa is a crispy fried snack made using samosa patty sheets filled with spicy onion-based stuffing. Another main ingredient in this recipe is flattened rice. I have made a twist to the original recipe by adding finely cabbage, carrot, and peas, making them a more delicious and mouth-watering snack.

These onion samosas are liked all over India and sold by local bakeries or street food vendors. Also, you get these samosas at the railway station and on a long train journey, where hawkers sell these piping hot samosas.

The Irani cafeteria sold these onion samosas and these samosas are also known as Irani samosas. These samosas are the specialty of Hyderabad, commonly also famous as Hyderabadi samosas. Another ingredient in this samosa is the flat flattened rice, due to which these samosas are also called poha samosa.

These samosas are slightly different from the Punjabi aloo samosa. You can make these samosas either with the homemade patty sheet or sheets readily available in the market. These samosas are crunchy and crisper due to the base texture.

These samosas are slightly spicier than the regular aloo samosa. They are so delicious and savory in taste that you can’t resist eating them.

It is a simple, easy, and quick snack to make at home. Prepare and freeze them in an air-tight container to enjoy them anytime, either with the piping hot masala chai, as an evening snack, or for sudden guests.
