Samosas are among India’s favourite snacks, and food vendors keep experimenting with their fillings and flavours. From noodles and Manchurian to sweet variations, the popular snack has seen several unusual twists. Now, a shop in Ambala, Haryana, has caught attention for its green samosas, which feature a palak paneer-inspired combination. Scroll down to learn more about it.
A Shop In Ambala Is Selling Palak Paneer Samosas
Instead of the usual outer covering, these samosas are made with spinach-based dough and stuffed with paneer. A content creator (@creativebyebirth) recently shared a video on Instagram showing how the unusual snack is prepared, giving viewers a glimpse into the process from making the dough to frying the samosas. The video begins with a cook preparing a large batch of green dough, which is flattened using a machine. The dough is then cut into equal portions before being filled with a mixture of paneer, onions and peas. The cook is seen wearing a hairnet and plastic gloves while preparing the samosas.
Another cook is then shown heating oil in a large vessel and carefully adding the stuffed samosas for frying. Once they turn crisp and golden, they are taken out of the hot oil. The video ends with a close-up of the freshly prepared green samosas, highlighting their unusual appearance.
Although the content creator did not mention the shop’s exact location in the video, food lovers can visit Sawhney Mathi Wale in the Old Sabzi Mandi area of Ambala Cantt, Haryana, to try the special samosas. The shop also serves regular potato-filled samosas, but its green samosas are among its distinctive offerings. With a spinach-based covering and a paneer filling, the snack gives the familiar Indian favourite a different flavour and appearance.
