Samosa Pinwheels

Samosa pinwheels are great party snack. This is an interesting fusion on the popular Indian snack samosas. They make a mouthwatering appetizer or can be served as a chaat.

Ingredients

Filling

4 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and roughly mashed will be about 2-1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup green peas boiled and drain using frozen green peas
1 tsp cumis seeds jeera
1 tbsp green chili finely chopped
2 tsps coriander powder dhania
1/2 tsp red chili powder lal mirch
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp mango powder amchoor
1-1/4 tspa salt
2 tbsps cilantro finely chopped hara dhania

Dough

1 cup all-purpose flour maida, plain flour
2 tbsps fine sooji samolina
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsps oil canola, vegetable
1/3 cup cold water, approx.

Also Need

3 tbspa all-purpose flour maida, plain flour
1/4 cup water
oil to fry

Instructions

Dough

Mix flour, sooji, salt, and oil. Add water as needed to make soft dough. Don’t knead the dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth. Let it rest at least 15 minutes.

Filling

Squeeze the water from the green peas. Mix all the ingredients for filling: potatoes, cumin seeds, coriander, green chili, mango powder, salt, and cilantro.
Divide the filling in 2 parts and set aside

Making Pinwheels

Mix the 3 tablespoons all purpose flour and ¼ cup water to make a thin batter. Set aside.
Knead the dough for a minute before rolling. Divide dough into two equal parts and make them into patties and roll each one into about 11 inch diameter.
Spread one part of the filling evenly over one of the rolled dough, slightly pressing.
Roll the sheet gently, but firmly until you have a nice firm log. Use a little water to seal the end of the sheet firmly, roll the log gently 6-7 times this helps keeping together.
With a sharp knife slice the both ends about 1 inch long then slice the log into ½ inch thick, this should make about 14 -16 pinwheels. Press each pinwheel lightly. Do the same with second sheet, you will have about 30 pinwheels.
Heat at least one inch of oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. To test, put a small piece of dough into the oil; dough should sizzle and come up slowly, but not change color.
Fry the pinwheels in small batches. Dip them in the batter one at a time and drop them slowly into the hot oil. Fry the pinwheels until both sides are golden-brown, turning occasionally. Each batch will take three to four minutes to cook. Repeat this process until all the pinwheels are cooked.
The crisp, delicious pinwheels are now ready to serve.

Notes

Samosa pinwheels can be frozen five to six weeks. To freeze, fry them halfway. Once they reach room temperature, layer them in a container between sheets of waxed paper. When ready to use, re-fry them or heat them in the oven at 350° F until golden brown.

You can also refrigerate them three to four days.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Samosa Pinwheels With Hari Cilantro Chutney and or Tamarind Chutney.

Serve them as a chaat with drizzling whipped yogurt and tamarind chutney.

Also can be served with chola .

Pinwheel Samosa Recipe: How to Make Potato Samosa Pinwheel

Samosa pinwheels are savory vegan appetizers reminiscent of traditional chaat, perfect for parties with their delightful fusion of flavors and convenient bite-sized format. Samosa pinwheels are a delightful twist on the traditional samosa, offering all the flavor and crunch in a fun, bite-sized package. In this pinwheel samosa recipe, we’ll guide you through the process of creating these savory treats step by step. Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a unique appetizer, or simply craving a delicious snack, these samosa pinwheels are sure to impress.

Step 1: Prepare the Filling for Samosa Pinwheels

Begin by preparing the filling for your samosa pinwheels. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds, letting them sizzle for a few seconds. Add boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan, along with green peas, finely chopped green chilies, ginger paste, salt, red chili powder, mango powder, and garam masala. Mix the ingredients well and cook for a few minutes until the flavors meld together. Once done, set the filling aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough for Samosa Pinwheels

While the filling cools, it’s time to prepare the dough for your samosa pinwheels. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and carom seeds (ajwain). Gradually add water and knead the ingredients into a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Samosa Pinwheels

Now comes the fun part – assembling the samosa pinwheels! Divide the rested dough into small equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a thin circle, similar to a chapati or tortilla. Spread a thin layer of mint chutney evenly over each circle of dough, followed by a generous portion of the prepared potato filling. Carefully roll each circle into a tight log, similar to a Swiss roll, ensuring the filling is enclosed within the dough.

Step 4: Shape and Bake the Samosa Pinwheels

Once you’ve rolled all the circles into logs, it’s time to shape and bake your samosa pinwheels. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into smaller pieces, about 1 inch in width. Place the sliced pinwheels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each piece. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the samosa pinwheels for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Your Samosa Pinwheels

Once baked to perfection, remove the samosa pinwheels from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of mint chutney. These delightful samosa pinwheels are best enjoyed warm with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney. Serve them as appetizers at your next gathering or enjoy them as a tasty snack any time of day.

Variations and Tips for Samosa Pinwheels

Vegetarian Variation: This recipe for samosa pinwheels is completely vegetarian, making it suitable for those following a plant-based diet. However, feel free to customize the filling according to your preferences. You can add ingredients like paneer, tofu, or even a medley of vegetables for added texture and flavor.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of green chilies and red chili powder according to your preferred spice level. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce or omit these ingredients altogether.
Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the filling and dough for the samosa pinwheels in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply assemble, shape, and bake the pinwheels for a quick and convenient snack or appetizer.
Serve with Dips: These samosa pinwheels pair perfectly with a variety of dips and chutneys, such as tamarind chutney, mint chutney, or yogurt-based sauces. Get creative with your dipping options to enhance the flavors of this delicious snack.

FAQs about Samosa Pinwheels

Can I Freeze Samosa Pinwheels?

- Yes, you can freeze unbaked samosa pinwheels for later use. Simply assemble the pinwheels and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Can I Air Fry Samosa Pinwheels?

- Absolutely! To air fry samosa pinwheels, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and place the assembled pinwheels in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Can I Make Mini Samosa Pinwheels?
