aked Raw Banana Samosas are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried samosas. Made with raw bananas and a variety of spices, these samosas are baked to perfection and make for a great snack or appetizer.
Here’s how you can make them at home
Ingredients
- 3 raw bananas
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 10-12 samosa sheets
Instructions
- First, we need to prepare the filling for the samosas. Peel the raw bananas and chop them into small pieces. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil and add the chopped bananas. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the bananas are soft and mushy. Keep aside.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds. Fry for a few seconds until the seeds start to crackle.
- Add the cooked bananas to the pan along with turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool down.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Meanwhile, prepare the samosa sheets by cutting them into strips of about 2 inches in width.
- Take one strip and apply a little water along one edge. Fold it into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal the samosa. Fill the samosa with the banana filling and seal the top edge by applying a little water.
- Repeat this process with the remaining samosa sheets and filling. Place the samosas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the samosas with a little oil and bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, take the samosas out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dip.
- Baked Raw Banana Samosas are a great snack for any occasion. They are healthy, delicious, and easy to make at home. Try this recipe and enjoy the flavors of India in the comfort of your own kitchen!
