Everyone in India loves to eat Samosa. But people don’t like maida or all-purpose flour which is used to make samosa because it is not healthy. So, in this new Poha samosa Recipe, I’ve shared an alternative to maida and used Poha or flattened rice to make samosa. They are so crispy and taste so yummy that this will become your next favorite snack recipe. This healthy evening snack recipe is made using Poha, so it is very healthy for your family and kids. Poha is made from flattened rice flakes. Poha is a very versatile dish in itself as it is used to make many snacks and breakfast dishes. Poha contains a lot of nutrients and though I’ve used oil for frying, you can also use an air fryer which will make it a completely healthy and a new snack recipe that you can easily make the next time you are craving to eat Samosa at home.
