Samosa Pinwheels

These Samosa Pinwheels are easy with a few ingredients. Samosa Pinwheels are great party appetizer. It’s a twist in the popular Indian snack Samosa. Making perfect Samosa could be tricky. But Samosa Pinwheels are very easy. I love samosa. I like to experiment with it. Earlier I have shared recipe of Samosa Khandvi, which is a super hit. Do check it out as well. I have wrapped Samosa stuffing into Samosa dough, but you can roll it in tortilla or puff pastry. Samosa Pinwheels recipe idea adapted from Manjulas Kitchen.

Important Notes :-

• I have added ghee in dough. But you can add oil instead of ghee. I have learnt that adding ghee in dough makes samosa very flaky and crispy.
• The amount of water added depends on the flour quality. Add little water at a time. You have to knead into a tight firm dough.
• You can fill samosas pinwheels with any stuffing, but I like my samosa pinwheels with potatoes and peas.
• Don’t roll Samosa too thin or thick.
• Boiled potatoes should be dry.
