Samosa rolls are these vegan, baked or air-fired snack, appetizers that satisfy all your samosa cravings in much less effort!!

Samosa Rolls

What is Samosa

Samosa is a triangular crispy flaky deep fried or baked pastry usually stuffed with a savory spicy filling of potatoes and green peas (most popular) and/or meat and lentils. Its an extremely popular Indian appetizers available in most Indian restaurants/eateries world wide.

Making this delicious snack is multistep process so it does takes some effort and time. If you are like me and need something quick yet satisfy that samosa craving then try these samosa rolls!! 

Samosa Rolls

What are Samosa Rolls

Samosa rolls is a fusion recipe made with the exact same filling as you would make for your samosa recipe but stuffed inside a tortilla instead of the traditional dough/crust. These are then baked or air-fried till nice and crispy!!

The filling can be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated. On the day of the party, simply stuff, roll, bake and serve!! 

I find using street taco tortilla are the perfect size to make these as finger food. If you can't find them, use the regular size tortilla and cut in half. 

Enjoy these delicious appetizers for your next party or simply with your chai for breakfast or snack. My kiddo loves them in her lunch box too!! 

Serving suggestions

Serve these samosa rolls straight out of the oven or airfryer hot and crispy sprinkled with some chaat masala, pomegranate and sev (crunchy chickpea flour noodles) with side of spicy green chutney and sweet date tamarind chutney to dip!!

Can I freeze Samosa Rolls

Yes absolutely!! Simply roll these with the filing inside, seal them and set seam side down on the baking tray. Place the baking tray in the freezer until the rolls are frozen and then transfer them to a ziplock bag or container.

These should be good for up to 3 months or more. When you crave some, simply pop as many you need into a preheated oven or airfryer and bake until completely hot and crispy. It may take slightly longer to crisp up than room temp.

How to make Samosa Rolls

The main steps for making Samosa rolls are making the filling, assembling the rolls and then baking or air frying them. Lets see in detail now each of these steps. 

Samosa Rolls - filling

Making the samosa filling: 

The filling can be made in advance a day or two and refrigerated. 

Start first by boiling the potatoes either in regular pressure cooker (4-5 whistles) or instant pot (manual high pressure for 10 mins). Followed by quick release. Let them cool down enough to handle, peel them and mash roughly (it need not be smooth).

Samosa Rolls - Step1

In a fry pan, dry roast the cumin, fennel and coriander seeds until toasted and slightly golden (not brown or burnt). Remove into a mortar pestle (or food processor) and coarsely crush/grind. Highly recommend doing this additional step as it really brings out the flavor. If you are pressed for time, you can also add the seeds as is (without crushing) to the oil (step below). I prefer to crush them as that way you are biting a whole seed. 

Samosa Rolls - Step2

In the same fry pan, heat oil and once hot add the crushed seeds mix along with the ginger, green chillies and peas. Cover and cook until peas are done on medium low approximately 5 mins stirring intermittently. To fasten this process use boiled green peas.  Add the all the spices and salt, mix for few seconds and add the mashed potatoes; mix well until well combined. Add some cilantro leaves and allow to cool completely before stuffing.

Assembling samosa rolls:

Samosa Rolls - Step3

Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and spray with oil. Divide filling into 20 equal portions. Place the tortilla (using street taco flour tortilla) and add filling to it along the length as shown. Apply water to the ends of the tortilla and roll it tight. Place it seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat these steps for the remaining tortillas. 

Baking the samosa rolls:

You can either bake these or air fry them

Samosa Rolls - Step4

Oven : Preheat oven to 400F. Place the baking tray with samosa rolls in the oven and bake for 25-30 mins flipping half way through until nice and crispy. 

Airfryer: arrange in single layer and bake at 400F for 10-12 mins until crisp and golden, turn after 5 mins to help them brown evenly. 

Please note: The filling does pop out a bit from the open ends as seen in the last pic of above collage via both methods. That is ok. You can either press it back in using a spoon or leave as is. 

That's it!! our crispy delicious Samosa rolls are ready, serve hot and crispy with some dipping sauce of choice!!
