Ragi Pinwheel Samosa Recipe

Samosas are the pride of India’s culinary scene. Paired with masala tea or a refreshing sip of shikanji, these scrumptious bites go with everything. If you are bored with your usual samosas, the Ragi Pinwheel samosa recipe offers a healthier twist on the classic samosa. 

Ragi flour is a nutrient-dense millet that replaces traditional all-purpose flour, making these pinwheel samosas a more nutritious option. The filling combines potatoes, green peas, and spices for a flavorful and satisfying bite. Baking the samosas with a light butter glaze instead of frying reduces the overall oil content, making them a guilt-free snack

  • Double the ingredients when cooking for more people to ensure everyone gets a fluffy stack.
  • Swap out eggs for mashed bananas, yogurt, or flaxseed mix if you're vegetarian or allergic to eggs.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra soft and airy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to get fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
  • Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or honey for a delicious and healthy twist.
