Dough Preparation:
The inception of fried taco samosas recipe involves the careful assembly of flour, sooji, salt, and oil in a mixing bowl. The combination of these elements lays the groundwork for a versatile and flavorful dough that will contribute to the overall texture and taste of the fried tacos samosas. Gradually add water, kneading the ingredients for about 1 minute until a firm and pliable dough is formed. Allow the dough to rest for a minimum of 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to become more workable.
Filling Creation:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Confirm the oil’s readiness by adding a cumin seed – if it cracks immediately, the oil is ready. Introduce cumin seeds to the hot oil, followed by green peas. Stir-fry for approximately 2 minutes. Add potatoes, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, mango powder, salt, and green chili to the pan. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the potato filling maintains a moist consistency without becoming overly dry.
Taco Shell Crafting:
Knead the dough briefly and divide it into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Roll out each dough ball into a 4-inch diameter circle. Use a fork to prick both sides of the rolled taco to prevent puffing during frying, ensuring a crisp texture. Heat oil in a frying pan with approximately 1 inch of oil. To check readiness, drop a small piece of dough into the oil – it should sizzle and rise slowly. Place a rolled taco in the pan, pressing with a skimmer, turning, and folding it in half to create a taco shape. Ensure there is space between the folds for the potato filling. Fry until light golden brown on both sides, taking about 2-3 minutes per taco. Drain excess oil by placing the fried tacos on paper towels. Repeat the process for the remaining tacos.
Assembling the Tacos:
The final step in crafting these delectable Fried Taco Samosas is the art of assembling. While the taco shells are still warm, fill each with the hot potato filling. Drizzle with your favorite chutney to add a burst of flavor to the taco samosas.
Notes and Suggestions:
Prepare taco shells and potato filling in advance for a convenient assembly before serving.
Taco shells can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks or more.
Potato filling can be refrigerated for 3-4 days; reheat before serving.
Keep chutneys ready to enhance the flavor of your fried taco samosas.

Lovely filling + I’m filling courgette boats, baked potatoes + butternut squash. I wrap in foil + freeze. Lovely.
Great recipe… Can we add little amount of wheat flour also alongwith with maida?
Mukta texture will not be the same
I just made the crispy puris to have with a Dahl vegetable stew with some yougurt. The Puris’ came out perfect.
Good innovative recipe.
I will definitely give it a try. this is new to me.
Is there way that you don’t have to deep fry the shell? Can you spray with Pam and heat on the pan? We try very hard not to eat deep fried food any more… Even though it’s so delicious!
Delicious
Delicious snack
nice recipe such a great concept!
Hi Manjula, The recipe looks appetizing as always. Do you think I could fry corn tortillas in this recipe instead of wheat? First because I love corn tortillas, and secondly because it would be a way to make my coeliac friend taste “samosa”. I have never made any samosa before and the ones I tasted were from long ago, so I don’t know if the corn flour taste would clash or not. Be blessed! ~Didi
Didina, corn tortillas, try but it will not be the same
Can we use wheat instead of maida
Sangeetha, yes crispness will not be the same

I’m making these again and was just wondering… will the shells stay crispy overnight or is it best to store any unused dough till ready to use immediately?
Nicole, I make these shells few days before and store in in air tight container, they stay crisp.
I watched video on youtube and decided to make this over the weekend…. taco shells are better than regular maida, healthwise so will surely try this! I absolutely love the way you make the items, one of my favorite…
