Baked Aloo Samosa

Dreaming of eating hot samosas on a rainy evening or a cold winter? Want to bite into one but worried about the calories. Then this is the recipe for you, of course it is not completely devoid of calories as it does have potatoes as the main ingredient for the filling and also a bit of butter smeared over the samosas. But that is hardly anything compared to the calories one gets from deep fried ones. Moreover the outer covering is made  entirely from  whole wheat (atta) which makes it that much more healthy and guilt free. Ditch those office samosa parties and make them at home.  Follow stepwise to see how to fold into samosas. I am not an expert in making perfect samosas, I have tried to illustrate easy ways of folding the samosas. Doing it a few times will give you confidence. These can even be deep fried in hot oil on medium temperature till golden and crisp.
Enjoy these hot samosas with homemade green and sweet chutneys. I had made these when I had made Amrkhand at the end of last winter. The turn to post these yummy samosas has only turned up now!

Notes
These samosas can also be deep fried in hot oil on medium flame till golden and crisp. Make sure to completely seal the edges especially when deep frying

Make a few, with practice you can make good shapes of samosas

If making a big batch then baking is the best option

Smear butter as soon as 1 or 2 samosas are made or they will dry up

You can also use milk to seal the edges instead of water

Use any other type of filling you like, mixed veg or paneer etc.

Make crumbs by rubbing ghee into the flour this will ensure a flaky pastry dough of the samosa
