I'd lengthy time wish to do this small samosa (or samsa as it is called). I've come across within Fairprice, frozen small samosas. Its small and appears very pretty too. Aj also loves it as being he'd attempted it as being starters in parties. I've attempted which makes it sometime back, but tend to not have it look great, so left it for some time. Now again lately Aj wanted me to test both at home and I guaranteed him I'll allow it to be on the weekend. I attempted last Sunday also it arrived on the scene good. And So I considered discussing it here. It’s super easy, tasty, crispy and excellent for meet up and parties as starter.
I chose to make this using the spring roll pastry sheets. Its not the same as puff pastry sheets, so don’t confuse by using it. This is extremely thin sheets, specifically intended for making spring rolls and samosas. I found know it's now a days obtainable in Chennai in Nuts N Spices like a pack of 20 sheets (Info Courtesy. Aparna Rajeskumar). So that you can sign in the frozen section. And if any one of you realize if it is available any place in your behalf of area, help others by departing comment within the comments section about where you've got it or seen it.

Method
- Keep pastry sheet at 70 degrees half an hour prior preparing the samosa. Boil and peel taters. Heat kadai with oil and temper with jeera.
- Add finely chopped onion, adopted through the cooked,mashed taters. Add some all of the masala powders within the ingredients, with salt and sprinkle a tblsp water.
- Mix well and fry for just two minutes in medium flame, lastly add coriander leaves, mix well.
- Transfer towards the serving bowl. Mix Maida with water to really make it a paste. Keep all of the ingredients ready.
- Right now the sheets could have been ready for preparing. Remove one at a time carefully. Keep engrossed in clean wet kitchen cloth to help keep it moist and steer clear of drying as instructed within the pack.
- Cut each sheet to 4 equal sized strips as proven within the picture. Spoon a teaspoon from the prepared potato masala in every strip, outrageous.Collapse as proven within the picture into triangular samosas. Refer video to understand at length how you can fold it. For the finish spread little maida paste and finish sticking the samosa.
- Keep your prepared samosas covered too, more suitable with wet kitchen cloth with this too. If you don't have spring roll pastry sheets, that you can do exactly the same with maida. Create a stiff sough with 1 cup maida, a tblps of oil, salt and water. Keep aside to have an hour, knead making equal sized balls. Roll as thin as you possibly can and reduce square. Use oil midway while moving in a single side to create moving easy without getting shrunken.

Notes
- It might appear tiresome, nevertheless its not, simpler than making spring rolls.
- If you don't have fennel powder, rather of tempering with jeera, temper with fennel. Or simply skip it and increase the garam masala powder.
- Maida paste ought to be smooth and will be able to keep your samosas sealed. If it is too thick then your sticking part won't look smooth, if it is too water, it will not stick.
- This publish mainly to exhibit using pastry sheets to make samosas, so I haven't concentrated over which makes it on your own with maida dough. The spring roll pastry sheets provides the maximum, crispiest samosa.
- You should use any filling of your liking. Like you may make stuffing just with sliced onions.
- You may make the samosas an freeze it before frying. If you need to make tomorrow, allow it to be today and freeze it. Repel half an hour before deep frying and fry as pointed out in order to save time.
