Poha and Sprouted Vatana Samosa

Everybody loves samose, but the moment somebody hears the word, it is potatoes that come to mind. Surprise your family and friends with this off-beat samosa, made with a stuffing of beaten rice and sprouted green peas, flavoured perkily with green chillies, coriander and other ingredients.



A squeeze of lemon gives the stuffing a tangy tinge, making it all the more enjoyable. We have used samosa pattis to make the Poha and Sprouted Vatana Samosa, to make things a bit easier.

However, samosa pattis get cooked very fast, so fry the samosas on a medium flame to avoid them from getting burnt before the stuffing gets cooked properly.

A good way to include sprouts to kids diet... The filling is very tasty and the recipe is quick to make also, if the sprouts are ready. The poha added as a binding agent will provide some iron too to kids.
