RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: For crushed corn, just blend the corn in a blender for 10 seconds. Poha is pressed rice flakes, poha absorbs the extra moisture from the filling which is necessary. If you see any opening in the samosa patti then just seal it with the paste. Do not fry the samosa over low flame, it absorbs a lot of oil and they become very crispy. Tips: You can also bake these samosas in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes.
