Gluten Free Falaari Samosa Recipe

Jump to Recipe    ||   Print Recipe

Gluten-free Falaari Samosa is a crispy and delicious spicy potato stuffed samosa made with gluten-free buckwheat flour.

The gluten-free samosa is super delicious and I bet you won’t miss the taste of a real authentic samosa if you try these. So it was the last day of our Navratri fasting and I was discussing with my husband that how there are numerous Falaari recipes on the internet to try.

There are Falaari dhokla, idli, dosa, pancakes and what not. As we were talking he told me that one day some blogger would post a Falaari samosa and then it will be a new thing to try too.

That’s when I thought why not I should try making a falaari samosa and I told him my plan. The same day I attempted and to my surprise, it was a huge hit. Even my girls loved the samosa with mint chutney.

As I made for fasting so I did not add any onions and or green peas etc but if you are making these just for the sake of gluten fry then go ahead and use your choice of fillings.

Make sure o roll the dough very gently and carefully as this gluten-free flours are a little tough to work with. There might be some cracks here and there but just cover them with some more sough and you are good to fry the samosas.

    samosa looks so crispy and tempting .. Gluten free samosa is very interesting. Your husband has given you a great idea isn’ it..So perfectly shaped , I know it must have been difficult to shape them with no gluten, but you really did a very good job !!

  2. Wow Sapana, your falaari samosa look great. I would never have thought samosa can be made with buckwheat or millet flours. Even the filling without peas looks great.

    Buckwheat somasa is a cool idea and now you are the trendsetter for these samosa 🙂 Samosa has turned out so good despite making it with gluten free flour
