These scrumptious bite-sized samosas are excitingly stuffed with onions that have been sautéed with masala powders for that really mouthwatering aroma and flavour. Sautéing the onions rids it of the raw smell and imparts a rich aroma instead. The texture also gets more enjoyable.

Mini Onion Samosas together with tomato ketchup or green chutney are ideal for serving at a Cocktail Party , and when enjoyed in the company of close friends and family, you are bound to lose count of how many you had!

Method
For the dough

How to proceed

Roll out a portion of the dough into 75 mm. (3”) diameter oval shape.
Cut the oval horizontally into 2 equal portions using a knife.
Take a portion and join the edges to make a cone and seal it with little water.
Stuff the cone with 1 tsp of the filling and apply little water on the edges to seal it.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 19 more mini samosas.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and deep-fry all the samosas on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on an absorbent paper.
