If there’s one snack that instantly connects people to the rich flavors of India, it’s the humble yet iconic Samosa. Golden, crisp, and stuffed with a spiced potato and pea filling, samosas are much more than an appetizer — they’re a delicious tradition shared across generations and continents.
At Jewel of India, your go-to Indian Food Restaurant in Seattle, WA, we proudly serve our samosas fresh and hot — each bite offering a flaky crust and a warm, comforting filling.
What Is a Samosa?
A samosa is a deep-fried pastry filled with savory stuffing — most commonly spiced potatoes and green peas. Its triangular shape, crispy shell, and aromatic filling make it one of the most popular snacks across India, Pakistan, Nepal, and beyond.
Whether served as an appetizer, teatime snack, or party favorite, samosas always bring joy to the table.
The Magic Inside – Samosa Filling at Jewel of India
Our samosa filling is made from a carefully seasoned blend of:
- Boiled potatoes – mashed slightly for texture
- Green peas – for a sweet and soft contrast
- Cumin seeds
- Coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric
- Ginger and green chilies – finely minced
- Fresh cilantro and lemon juice – for brightness
This mixture is sautéed in oil until the flavors meld into a rich, fragrant filling.
The Perfect Pastry
Our samosa pastry dough is hand-prepared in-house using:
- All-purpose flour
- Ghee or oil
- Salt and water
It’s kneaded until smooth and then rolled out and cut into semi-circles. The dough is then shaped into cones, filled with the potato-pea mix, and sealed before frying.
How We Make Our Samosas – Step by Step
1. Prepare the Dough
We combine flour, salt, and oil/ghee and add water gradually to form a stiff dough. After resting it for 30 minutes, it’s ready to be shaped.
2. Make the Filling
In a hot pan, we add oil, cumin seeds, and then sauté chopped ginger, green chilies, and mashed boiled potatoes. Peas, spices, and herbs are added. The mixture is then cooled before filling.
3. Shape the Samosas
The dough is divided into small balls, rolled into ovals, and cut in half. Each piece is formed into a cone, filled, and sealed with water or flour paste.
4. Fry to Perfection
The samosas are deep-fried in oil over medium heat until golden brown and crisp — never rushed, so the crust stays crunchy and doesn't soak oil.
5. Serve with Chutney
Our samosas are paired with mint chutney and tamarind chutney, offering both cool and tangy contrasts to the savory filling.
