Indian food lovers, I ask you: what could be better than a sumptuous platter of hot, crisp, spicy samosas? How about a sumptuous platter of hot, crisp, spicy samosas you made yourself, without assistance from a restaurant or frozen foods aisle, baked instead of deep fried and low in fat, sodium and cholesterol? These are so good you’ll want to share, but save plenty for yourself. You will feel awesome about treating yourself to these.
If you’re fairly new to Indian food or you find chili or jalapeno-level heat a little much, the seasonings I’ve indicated should work well for you. My Indian recipes tend to have a crossover aspect to them, as in, I spice them in ways I think most people can totally handle and enjoy, and I don’t add anything you can’t find in supermarkets. However, if you’re hardcore when it comes to hot n’ spicy, play with the flavors, add more of your favorites, and consider throwing in some hot chilis along with the vegetables.
There are lots of ways to wrap samosas, and I’ve tried many of them, but I find the method shown here the easiest:

Do it just like she does, and you’ll get great samosas. This amazing lady does 6 at a time. I stick with 1 at a time. If this video ever gets taken down I’ll break down and make one myself, but until then I’ll remain camera-shy and refer you to her. I use a 1/4 cup measure to help me regulate how much filling I’m using.
Update – since I published this post, I made a little step-by-step showing how to wrap samosas like this. Here it is if you’d like to check it out: How to Wrap Anything Samosa Style With Egg Roll Wrappers
