Amma’s Samosas

These savory crispy fried Indian samosas from Amma restaurant in New York are packed with spiced potato filling, bright with lemony notes courtesy of coriander, dried and ground pomegranate seeds called anardana powder, and dried green mango powder, or amchur. Both powders can be found at Indian grocers and online at Kalustyan’s, a Manhattan-based shop that ships nationally.
Folding samosas is an ideal group activity as extra hands can be useful, so invite friends or family to join you. If you need more guidance on the technique, we like this video, which shows the process step-by-step. Once your samosas are golden and ready, serve them with homemade or store-bought tamarind and cilantro chutneys or alongside a cooling bowl of raita for dipping.
