Mini Bread Samosa Recipe-A super crispy, tasty, and very delicious mini version of the classic samosa made using bread slices as the outer covering instead of plain flour.
Samosa is my all-time favorite and I can just live on eating samosa every day. Back in India, we used to have samosa almost every weekend as the street shop was just around the corner and we would easily get the hot fried samosa with tamarind and mint chutney.
There is always a sweet corner in most of the towns or markest in Delhi where you can get freshly prepared samosa. The vendors would start filling the samosa from early morning for the whole day supply and would fry them right in front of you.
After moving to Ireland, samosa is one of the food we missed eating. Some days when I would ask what to make for brunch on weekends my daughter would ask can you go and bring Sharma ke Samose. That much she’d miss them.
I also make them at home but the taste of Halwai’s tamarind and mint chutney along with the super crispy samosa is something that can’t be replaced with homemade samosa.
Bread samosa is just a variation of regular samosa in which I used the same potato peas filling but used the sandwich bread slices for the outer covering. Well, there are endless options for stuffing the samosa, you can use only peas, paneer, spinach, and corn or dry fruits stuffings too.
To be frank our favorite stuffing is the classic potato and peas and I don’t ever tempt to try any other. Maybe someday I would try any other stuffing just for the blog but until that day comes, let’s just enjoy Samosa.
This is what I made until now for the mega-marathon

Nice variation to the regular samosa. Since we get good samaosas here I rarely make them at home. Now this recipe is something that I must try.
This looks like a super duper short cut yet yummy way to cover the samosa filling ! I am so making this samosa soon Sapana ! That’s a fabulous idea ..
Omg those Mini samosas look so adorable 🙂 am just scrolling back and forth gawking these beauties .. Looks so crispy and yumm sapna .. Perfect snack to have any time, and with bread it must be real quick to make kind of snack.. Am so tempted, they look so cute and lovely presentation there !!
Super easy and we can prepare this any time ,no need to wait for samosa sheets.. Love this idea!!
Using bread as a covering is such an awesome idea. Never thought about it. In Tamil Nadu, we get this mini onion samosa. I would like to try that filling with this bread. Will let you for sure. 🙂 Thanks for the idea Sapana.
That is neat idea to use bread slices as samosa outer covering. I am sure they turned out crispy. Would love to try these sometime.
Once i have tried the samosa with bread, but unfortunately it was a total flop, after that i’m afraid to give a try on that. Your samosas are so perfect and i can see the crispiness from the pics itself. Bookmarked to try your version.
How puffy and cute those samosas looks, feel like munching some rite now with some mint and sweet chutney. Too good and very tempting.
Sapana, your bread samosa look just like the regular ones. Love the idea of using bread for the crust. The mini ones look so adorable. Lovely presentation.
That’s really innovative .. I make rolls but never tried out samosas with bread slices.
I also want Sharmaji ke samose…ha ha..seriously life in Delhi so different, but we all have our plus and minuses..
I am loving these mini samosas, love the idea of using the bread slice crust..I bet Sharmaji se ache samose hai !..right ?
These mini samosas with bread looks so cute. I guess even I love the potato filling more than any fusion filling. I could finish off the whole plate in minutes..
The mini bread samosa loos so cute and tempting I am drooling right now, loved the way you have used bread instead of dough must taste good.

Just like you, i am crazy for samosa. You certainly cannot stop at 1 and these bread samosa looks absolutely stunning, inviting and delicious. Tamarind chutney, ketchup and mint chutney, your life is sorted!
That is such an awesome idea to make the samosas with bread. Would it be very oily after frying? Definitely a quick and easy snack option for the evenings.
No, they won’t be oily, just crispy and tasty like bread rolls.
The crust looks just perfect, almost as good as the one made from dough! I love such shortcuts to deliciousness. I’m saving this recipe for Ramadan iftar, the time of year when we consume samosas most and when I need quick & easy recipes most too.
What a lovely idea for a quick samosa! Makes use of leftover bread too; fabulous share:)
Mini samosas are a great way of having a samosa and not feeling to much regret about the calories. Your idea of using bread as covering shortens the process quite a bit.
The raisins and cashews will be such a surprise after the first bite.

Yes sapana, morning can replace that halwai’s chutneys and samosas!! These bread samosas look like a quickie version of our regular ones! I never get perfect shapes with dough samosas, would love to see whether I can overcome that handicap with these bread ones!
These bread samosas look so cute and delicious. It reminds me of the bread rolls my mother in law use to make often.
