Mini dry samosa is a deep-fried triangle/cone of all purpose flour/maida stuffed with dry mixture of crushed boondi/sev, dry fruits and few spices. It is a perfect light, yummy, spicy and crispy teatime snack. These samosas have long shelf life, so they can be taken during journey. They are typically prepared during festivals like Diwali, Holi or Janamashtami. Here is the recipe with some tips and step by step instructions and pictures.

4. Add water gradually and knead a hard dough like samosa dough. It will take 1/4 cup of water to knead this much dough.

10. Finally, add 1 tbsp tamarind chutney and mix it well.
11. Stuffing for Mini Dry Samosas is ready.
12. After 30 minutes, knead the dough slightly more. Then divide the dough into 12 equal portions and give them a shape of ball ( like medium-sized lemon).
13. Take one ball on a rolling board and then roll it out with a rolling pin lengthwise.
14. Cut the rolled dough into two equal parts with the help of a knife.
15. Fold one part making a cone shape and while making cone, stick both ends with water.
16. Hold the cone between your thumb and first finger. Then add half-a-teaspoon of stuffing to the cone. After filling the stuffing, fold (put a plate) in the back edge, stick both the top edges with the help of water.
17. Mini dry samosa is ready to fry. Make sure to close the edges properly, otherwise it will open while frying.
18. Likewise, prepare all the 24 samosas. Let the samosas remain like this for 15-20 minutes.
19. To fry the samosas, heat oil in a kadai. To fry the samosas, heat the oil over low flame. When oil is sufficiently hot, carefully slide or drop samosas in it. Drop as many samosas into the kadai/wok as possible.
20. When the samosas come up, flip the samosas and then fry them till they turn golden brown. It takes 17-18 minutes to fry samosas for a single time.
21. Hot Mini Samosas of completely different flavors are ready to serve. Store them in an air tight container for 15-20 days after the samosas have cooled down completely.
