Poha and sprouted green peas,here is a samosa with a difference – and the difference is not just in the use of poha but the use of sprouted green peas! the protein quotient of this version is a tad greater than the usual recipe as the dry green peas are sprouted. Sprouting increases the digestibility and absorption of proteins by 30 per cent. Since it is a deep-fried finger food, kids will relish both its taste and nutrition.

Method
For the stuffing

  3. Repeat with the remaining samosa pattis and the stuffing to shape 11 more samosas.
