Samosas have been India's favourite snacks for a long while now. Here, we don't need a special occasion to bring out these savoury delights. Whether there are guests or one is just sitting alone watching the rains, samosas along with green chutney and tamarind sauce make for great company always. Most of us know the classic aloo samosas but little nooks and corners across India have come up with their own innovative variants which you can even make at home to try something new.
9. Cheese Samosa
It is very difficult to say no to cheese. As you slowly tear apart the hot crispy covering, the cheese will come oozing out. The cheese filling can be combined with corn, onion, coriander, chilli flakes or anything else to suit your preferences.
10. Mushroom Samosa
It sounds absurd but is actually a great filling. Mushrooms provide a soft texture and consistency that makes it a scrumptious delicacy. The ingredients usually used are white button mushrooms, onion, tomato, green chilli, garlic cloves, ginger and coriander leaves.
11. Chocolate Samosa
While it may sound ridiculous to some and absolutely toothsome to others, no one can deny that it is very appealing. It is also loved by kids. You can fill in crunchy chocolates or even plain Nutella, it will be yummy either way.
12. Onion Samosa
Onion samosa is almost as popular as the classic samosa and is available everywhere. For those who don't like potato or are fat conscious, this is an option as it is as palatable as the other variants, sometimes even more so.
13. Sweet Samosa
What is also known as Khoya samosa, this one works as a sweet as well as a snack. It contains a filling of khoya or coconut milk along with dry fruits and nuts. It is heavy, lip-smacking and one of the favourite desserts at sweet shops as well as celebrations.
14. Carrot Samosa
Serving as another alternative to the classic samosa, it is made with carrots, green peas, amchur powder, turmeric powder, mint/pudina and green chilly. This is one snack which can be called tasty as well as relatively healthy.
15. Egg Samosa
Eggs are fantastic because of the many ways they can be cooked and eaten. Another one added to that list is egg samosa. It tastes heavenly. Scramble the eggs, make a seasoned bhurji or even stuff it with boiled egg pieces if you want, it will be succulent as ever.
16. Chicken Samosa
Chicken samosa needs no introduction. Almost as popular as the classic samosa in the non-vegetarian crowd, it is also as tasty. Shredded chicken pieces or chicken gravy, however, you make the filling, taste is guaranteed!
17. Paneer Samosa
Paneer samosa is mouthwatering. Soft crumbled paneer with coriander, seasoning and assorted herbs filled in a crunchy samosa Patti and served with ketchup and green chutney; aren't you already drooling? Source: pinkvilla.com
