Sorghum Samosa Recipe: Crispy Millet Twist to the Classic Indian Snack

Samosa is one of India’s most loved snacks — crispy, spicy, and deeply satisfying. This Sorghum Samosa recipe brings a nutritious millet upgrade to the classic by using sorghum flour along with maida for structure and crunch.

The result is a samosa that looks and tastes familiar but is lighter and more wholesome, making it perfect for tea-time, parties, or festive snacking.

Why Use Sorghum in Samosa Dough?

  • Naturally gluten-free grain

  • High in dietary fiber

  • Gives crisp texture when fried

  • Easier to digest than refined flour

  • Ideal for healthier street-food alternatives

Sorghum flour blends well with maida to maintain crunch while improving nutrition.
