I love dal samosa's each and every time i shop i'm sure to pick some ready to eat dal samosa from any sweet shop or super market.

When i was at home i experimented with the filling since i dont have the recipe for it i followed few blogs but failed the filling was not the same as store it was then i got few samosas from store a literally sat for 1 hour tasting the ingredients they have added jotted down all the ingredients and started to prepare the first attempt was okay very close to the store made filling the second attempt was a success and pure luck i got it right and was jumping with joy...my mom and dad thought I've gone crazy...but its only me who knows what it took to get the samosa filling right.

I'm yet to perfect the skin for the samosa experiment is on I'm sure to get it right. Try to fry the samosa on medium flame the outer cover will remain crispy for a week.

These samosa can be stored in airtight container for a week people who want to store these for more than a week can add citric acid to the filling.  

Its better you try this recipe if your on a long leave.

make these samosa in large batches its not worth preparing just 6 I've given measure for about 10 try to prepare atleast 30 to 40 in a batch.

These samosa will be a hit in any party can be prepared a week ahead of the party and stored.

This recipe is time consuming and really laborious one must have time and patience to prepare this recipe i was tired by the end of the recipe preparation i did not expect it to be so tough simple stuff gosh so much of work.

I've done a detail recipe video for this recipe do look into...Enjoy...:)
