Tips

  • This is just one example of filling. Any filling can be made with any vegetables on hand. Even left over side dishes can be used as filling.
  • You can also make non veg samosas with kheema masala.
  • Instead of tortillas, the outer covering can be made at home. Use maida and make like chapattis, cut into half and fill it.
  • Other alternatives to tortilla are frozen uncooked chapattis or spring roll sheets.
