Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 2–3 tablespoons oil (for brushing between layers)
  • as needed Extra dry flour for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
  2. Slowly add water little by little and knead into a smooth, medium-soft dough. The dough should not be too hard and not sticky.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
  4. After resting, knead again for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into 16 equal balls. Keep them covered.
Rolling and Stacking
  1. Roll each ball into a thin small roti (about 6–7 inches). Dust lightly with dry flour while rolling.
  2. Take one rolled roti, brush a thin layer of oil on top and sprinkle a little dry flour. Place another roti on top. Repeat the same process and stack 4 rotis together.
Cooking
  1. Gently roll the stacked rotis into one thin large circle. Do not press too hard.
  2. Heat a tawa on medium heat. Place the rolled stack on the hot tawa and cook for a few seconds on each side. Do not fully cook. Light bubbles should appear, but the sheets should remain soft and pale.
Finishing Touches
  1. Remove from heat and separate the layers immediately while still warm. Peel gently to get thin individual sheets.
  2. Trim the edges if needed. Your samosa sheets are ready to use for samosas, spring rolls, or box patties.

Notes

Ensure the dough is soft but not sticky for the best results. Use enough dry flour while rolling to prevent sticking. Avoid pressing too hard when rolling the stacked rotis, as this can make them tough. Roll them as thin as possible for a crispy texture when cooked.
