Notes

  1. Deep fry on low heat, if fried on high flame, then they will be golden from outside only but will not be crisp and cooked properly from inside.
  2. You can add other vegetable of your choice along with potatoes to make a healthy version like chopped carrot and corn. 
  3. For a healthy low fat version-you can bake samosa at 180 degree for about 30- 35 minutes.
