Baked Samosa Cups Video Recipe

Baked Samosa Cups
Baked Samosa Cups : Winter is the time we friends meet a lot in the name of Potlucks and Holiday get together. Last year for one such party, I made some 70 plus jumbo Samosa ie is a fried or baked dish with a savory filling . I used my electrical food processor to knead the dough and later I got some filling and dough leftovers, which I kept in the refrigerator. 2 days later I took the dough and filling and instead of deep frying for a change I chose to bake it. It was a super hit at home and no later I made it again (not so called leftover) and that time I recorded the video and noted the recipe to share it here. Trust me this is going to be a best appetizer for party and before trying it out don’t forget to check my Tips and Variations 🙂 . Here is that super close view of flaky Samosa Cups …

Cold Water – 1/2 Cup Plus 1 Tbsp (if needed)

Sharp Cheddar Cheese – 1/3 Cup (you can use Mozzarella as well)

For the Filling

Boiled Potatoes – 3 (Medium Size)

Corn and Green Peas – 1/2 Cup

Lemon Juice – 1/2 Tbsp

Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp

Salt – As  Needed (do add less since cheese has salt in it)

Baked Samosa Cups

How to prepare the Dough for Samosa Cups

  • In a mixing bowl add flour, ajwain and salt.
  • Add melted butter or ghee in to the flour mixture.
  • Incorporate the fat in the flour as shown in the video.
  • Gradually add cold water in batches.
  • Don’t make the dough too wet, when they are rolled together that’s it ie make a stiff dough, then only it holds the shape.
  • Keep covered and rest it for 30 minutes in refrigerator (meanwhile you can prepare the filling) .

How to prepare the filling

  • Boil the potato to make in to cubes (don’t overcook it turn mushy at the same time don’t under cook, I pressure cook with enough water for a single whistle).
  • Also once cooked let them cool completely, later peel off the skin and slice.
  • In a pan / kadai add little oil.
  • Temper with whole dhaniya / coriander seeds.
  • Add chopped onion and ginger garlic green chili paste.
  • Once they sautéed well add all the masala powders mentioned in the filling ingredient list.
  • Add the green peas and corn, saute till they turn tender (they don’t take much time to cook).
  • Finally add the cubed potatoes and saute for 3- 5 minutes in medium flame so the masalas coats well with potato.
  • Switch off the flame and add the lemon juice.
  • When they cool completely, add shredded cheese (reserve some to top on the samosa cups later) and mix well.

Baked Samosa Cups Assembly and Baking Instructions

  • Roll the dough using rolling pin and using circle cookie cutter or any cup (refer video) cut and stack the dough and make sure it fits in the muffin cup.
  • Don’t forget to stretch the dough a bit.
  • In a butter or oil greased muffin pan, arrange the samosa dough.
  • You can apply some butter on the edges of the unbaked samosa cups.
  • Add the filling and top it with reserved cheese.
  • In preheated oven bake at 375 F for 15 minutes or till they turn light brown.
  • Depends on the Maida / APF flour you may get color variation in your samosa cups, I use unbleached flour always.
  • The super flaky and crispy Samosa cups are ready to enjoy 🙂

Tips and Variations

  1. If you are not using the leftover samosa dough and making this samosa cups from scratch , do skip carom seeds.
  2. Instead of ghee add melted butter and do work with the dough as making Pie crust.
  3. Also you can reduce cold water and add sour cream or yogurt to the dough, do refer my reduced fat pie dough HERE.
  4. Feel free to add your desired veggies.
  5. Don’t make the dough too soft, if happened adjust with flour to right consistency.
  6. Also make sure the filling is dry otherwise the cups turn soggy.
  7. You can add 2 more Tbsp of butter if you wish.

Baked Samosa Cups

if using pie crust then bake it n oven at 350 F for 15 to 18mins

In air fryer 320 F for 15 – 18 minutes

    […] went in to deep fry (the dough turned super stiff after refrigerating) and the remaining baked as Party Samosa Cups for the kids. Kids like both fried and baked versions so make it often, that’s how I recorded […]
