When it rains, many of us crave the delicious taste and indulgence of fried foods. From pakodas to samosas, each one of us craves for different kinds of snacks during monsoon. Looks like some of our favourite celebrities can relate to this food habit too. Vaani Kapoor and Anushka Ranjan recently came together to create a delicious snack to satisfy their rainy day cravings. They shared a fun reel detailing the recipe of healthy samosas with aloo-matar (potatoes and green peas) stuffing. In the video, they reveal that they got the idea as they were in the mood for fried food due to the rains.
To make the covering, they first mix a cup of almond flour with a little bit of tapioca flour. They add water to make a dough-like mixture and let it rest. Then they start cooking the samosa stuffing. They heat cumin seeds in some ghee. They then add ginger garlic paste and chopped green chillies in the same pan. Finally, the main ingredients of the filling – green peas and crushed potatoes – are added and mixed with the other ingredients. The filling is spiced up with red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt and fennel powder. The stuffing is mashed well and some lemon juice is poured on top.

While cooking, Vaani Kapoor asks if she should make iced tea. The two take a break from making samosas and start making drinks. They make tea, add some honey to it and mix it with cold water. They put some ice cubes in the jug and put it in the fridge to cool.
After that, they resume making samosas. Anushka tells the audience to use plastic to flatten the dough, as the almond flour will otherwise make it stick to other surfaces. They fill the stuffing in small pieces of dough and close it in a flattened triangular shape. The pieces are air-fried until crispy and golden brown. Once they are cooked, the two enjoy them with spicy chutney. The caption of the video includes wordplay on both of their names. It reads, “When you’re with us – don’t be shocked if Vaani-shees eat the food because you know we’re going to fi-nush it.”
