I love samosas, and so do you.

So why not make samosas an easy way so that we can satiate our tummy and tongue easily.Although ready-to-eat samosas are available in market in a lot variety,but what about customizing samosas so that they taste according to your taste and are crispy from outside and soft from inside?So as the name sounds,these samosas are prepared from store bought tortillas and all you need is their filling, which you can make as per your choice.
To make samosas from scratch invites trouble in this fast pacing life.So if you have some tortillas at hand,you can try this simple time-saving recipe with hot tea. I found this recipe from the internet,and hope it would ease your efforts a bit.

4. Now place a pea in the center bottom of the cone. Fill it with 2 Tbsp of filling.




5. Apply the flour paste on the edges of the cone and paste it by pressing it with both hands.



6. Similarly prepare all the samosas and heat the oil in a wok at high.


7. Once the oil is sufficiently hot turn the heat to medium.Check the oil by dropping a small bit of tortilla in it.If it comes up instantly and the oil sizzles ,it is ready.
8. Now slowly place the samosa in the oil and deep fry them till golden brown from all sides.This needs turning their sides in between.4-5 samosas may take 10-15 mins to be evenly cooked.


9. Once they are golden brown ,take them out through a strainer on a paper towel layered plate.Serve them hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
