Oats Samosa the Ultimate Healthy Evening Snack for all Foodies

 

When you say oats, one of the first images that come to mind is a boring bowl of porridge with some fruits and nuts thrown into it. 

But what if we told you that you could enjoy eating oats as your favourite snack? What did you have in mind when you heard us say “snack,” and did you say a Samosa? Well, say no more!

All diet-conscious readers might imagine the oil and excessive calories that go into each piece. However, despite all this oil and unwanted calories, the taste wins! 

Perhaps, you are wondering if it is healthy. Worry not! Oateo experts bring you a unique formulation for making samosas with oats. Let’s look at how we can make some healthy, tasty, and easy oats samosas. 

Nutritional facts:

Still, worried? Everyone is aware of the high fiber offering of oats. They are also a rich source of carbs, proteins, and other minerals. 

Experts define the nutritional profile of a wheat flour samosas as follows:

Out of the 32 calories in a baked samosa, carbs constitute 17 calories, 3 calories of proteins, and 13 calories of fats. 

Using oats instead of wheat reduces the carbohydrates and increases proteins, ultimately offering you amazing health benefits.

Oats samosa: pre-requisites

 

• Don’t think about the oil. The samosas will be baked and stuffed with oats and taste just like the ones you eat.
• This recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare, 40 minutes to cook, and five minutes to eat. You will love it more than the unhealthy samosas you have been eating to date. 

So, let’s begin by gathering the things you will need. Let’s start with the base. 

Ingredients To Make the Base

 

• 50 grams rolled oats (Make sure that it’s ground)
• 50 grams of soy flour
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• 15 grams paneer (make sure that it’s grated)
• Some salt

Ingredients For the Stuffing

Okay, now that you kept aside the things you need for the base, set apart a little more space on your kitchen counter to gather the things you are going to need for the stuffing

 

• Some onions and other chopped veggies 
• 50 grams of paneer (this one need not be grated)
• 2 tablespoons of ghee
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
• 3 to 4 chilis 

Method:

• Let’s start with the base. Put together all the ingredients you gathered and knead till you get a soft dough. Set it aside for a while, covering it with a soft cloth. 
• Now, for the stuffing, start by heating the pan with ghee. 
• Once heated, you can add the chilis and ginger garlic paste. 
• Then, add the onions. After they turn brown, add the other veggies, and finally, paneer!
• Then add spices and fry for about six to seven minutes, after which you can switch off the gas.
• Now back to the dough. Pinch out bits and roll them into balls and flatten them into small circles, just like you would with roti but smaller. 
• Once done, you place the stuffing and wrap it with the dough. Ensure that it resembles a triangle like a samosa.  
• Do this with the rest of the dough and veggies till you reach the last one. 
• Once done, you can bake each of them, and your plate of samosas is ready. Savor these healthy Samosa with some chili sauce or leftover green chutney. 

Tips:

What kind of oats should you use in this recipe?

You can prepare this recipe with any oats. For additional benefits, we would always recommend Oateo rolled or steel-cut oats for any recipe. 

What veggies can you use for the stuffing?

This oat samosa recipe can go with any veggie of your choice, but to make it more crunchy, we recommend cabbage and cauliflower, along with the onions. A little bit of corn can also enhance the taste.

Pro tip: Do not use any vegetables that would make your samosa soggy.
