- Boil enough water with a little salt. Turn off the heat and add the soya granules. Let it soak for 10 minutes.
- Drain water and rinse with cold water twice to get rid of the raw smell of soya granules. Keep aside.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the grated ginger and finely chopped green chillies. Saute for a minute.
- Then add the finely chopped onion and fry till light golden color.

- Wet the straight edge with little water.
- Now make a cone by joining the two edges by overlapping them. Press the edges well.
- Stuff the cone with prepared soya stuffing.
- Close the cone and seal it well. The edges of the cone should be sealed well so that the filling does not come out while frying.
- Continue filling the rest of the samosas and cover them with a moist kitchen towel.

Hi,
I really want to try these. Just a quick question.
Can I freeze these? If so, how should I go about doing this?
thanks

Yes, you can freeze the stuffed samosas before frying. Place them on tray and freeze. When they are solid, transfer them to a ziplock bag and freeze for weeks.
