Chocolate Samosa – Sweet Twist on Classic Indian Snack

If you love samosas and chocolate, you’re in for a treat. A chocolate samosa takes the crunchy, fried shell we all know and adds a sweet, melt‑in‑your‑mouth filling. It’s the kind of snack you can serve at a party, offer as a school lunch, or enjoy on a lazy evening. Best part? You don’t need any fancy tools – just the basics from your pantry.

What You’ll Need

Gather these items before you start. For the dough, use plain flour, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil, and enough water to form a smooth ball. The filling is just dark chocolate chips, a splash of milk, and a tiny pinch of cardamom if you like a hint of spice. You’ll also need oil for deep‑frying and a rolling pin to shape the pastries.

Step‑by‑Step Guide

1. Make the dough. Mix 1 cup of flour with a pinch of salt, add 2 teaspoons of oil, and gradually pour in water. Knead until the dough feels soft and non‑sticky. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the chocolate filling. Heat ½ cup of milk in a pan, add ¾ cup of chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. For extra flavor, toss in a pinch of ground cardamom. Let the mixture cool – it should thicken but stay spreadable.

3. Shape the samosas. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, then cut it in half to make two semi‑circles. Take one semi‑circle, brush the straight edge with a little water, and fold it into a cone shape. Fill the cone with a spoonful of chocolate, then seal the top edge by pinching the dough together.

4. Fry to golden perfection. Heat oil in a deep pan to medium‑high heat. Gently slide the samosas in, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown – about 3‑4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to lift them out and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. Serve and enjoy. Let the samosas cool for a minute before biting in. The outer shell stays crisp while the chocolate inside stays soft and gooey. Pair them with a cup of chai or a cold glass of milk for a perfect snack.

That’s it – a chocolate samosa in under an hour. Feel free to experiment with variations: add chopped nuts to the filling, swap dark chocolate for milk chocolate, or sprinkle powdered sugar after frying. The possibilities are endless, and each bite brings the familiar comfort of a samosa together with the indulgence of chocolate.

Now you have a sweet snack that’s both familiar and surprising. Keep the recipe handy, and you’ll be ready to wow friends and family whenever the craving hits.
