Only two simple steps with much less stress.

1. Making of spicy sauce:

For the Spicy Sauce, you only need tomato ketchup, chilly garlic sauce, soy sauce, black and white pepper powder, chicken powder, red chili flakes, and some hot sauce. Mix everything well in a bowl.

2.Making of samosas :

Three Methods of making Samosas:

1. Fry samosa:

Mostly the samosas are deep-fried in oil for the best results as they are one of those snacks enjoyed at their best without thinking about being healthy.

2. Baked samosa:

Yes, baked samosa is a healthy version for all health-conscious people. The only con of baking samosa is that you don’t get the perfect golden brown samosas.

3. Air fried samosa:

Air frying samosas also gives good results when brushed with some oil. They come out perfectly crisp and also a bit golden in color. But it usually takes more time than frying & baking.
