Date: 25-July-2020

Thought: Who doesn't like samosas? But many of us avoid it because of too much oil content. So, I thought of making this baked version. Do try this recipe out, believe me its better and healthier than the oily ones.

**Best to use an oxy-fryer / air-fryer. You can also, use cake oven or microwave oven for this.

• a pinch of asafoetida (optional)

You can make any filling of your choice.

For outer layer:

For the outer coating:  Take some all purpose flour or maida. Add some salt, ajwain and white oil. Mix everything...and add water to make a dough. Rest it for a while.
