So Much More With Samosas!
The samosa is one of India’s most well-known street and snack foods. Samosas are spicy, moreish and make a great tea-time/party snack. But they can be enjoyed in more ways than one – here are 4 non-traditional ways to make – and make use of -your samosas.
Bake them.
Samosas are a deep-fried snack, but you can make them healthier by brushing on some form of fat and baking them in the oven or air-fryer. Same great taste, but with less grease.
Make samosa chaat.
A crispy samosa can be deconstructed into chaat – another Indian street food favourite. Gently break up your samosa, add a dollop of yogurt, cilantro chutney and some of our Twisty Tamarind sauce and you’ve got yourself easy chaat, without extra chopping or prep work!
Fashion them into burger patties.
Samosa are pretty substantial – and you can always put them between toasted buns to make a great veggie burger. If you’re looking for a cheesy midnight snack, fry up our Mini Jalapeño Cheese Samosas and put them between slider buns.

Kadhi samosa.
Kadhi is a chickpea flour and yogurt curry. Traditionally, fried vegetable fritters are tossed in before serving. Instead of making onion or potato fritters from scratch, throw in some of our cocktail–sized or mini-sized samosas.
Slurp it…as a Burmese samosa soup.
Across the border in Burma, samosas are used to make a hearty vegan soup that combines chickpea flour, lentils, a variety of Indian spices and vegetables. The hero ingredient is a chunky samosa, which is placed in the middle of the bowl before the soup is poured in.
