When our Blogging Marathon buddies met last year, we visited Agra and Delhi. While returning from Agra, Vaishali took us to a famous sweet stall – Devi Ram Sweets. Every dish we tasted there was absolutely yum, but one which bowled me over was the makkan samosa. At first I thought it to be some savoury samosa made with butter sauteed filling. But what came to the table was quite different. The outer covering was made with butter and filled with a delicious mawa and paneer filling. When I decided making Indian milk sweets for this month, makkan samosa had a place in it.
I am not really sure how it is actually made, but I tried to recreate it. I won’t say it was identical because their samosa shape was far more beautiful. But as for the taste, I was so happy. It was a really nice attempt and it tasted amazing. This was one dish I tried myself, while Sruti and Hubby tasted a spoon full. Except for the sugar, all the ingredients agreed with my diet and so I didn’t feel too guilty also. I made just one samosa and enjoyed it immediately.

Butter – 3 tbs
Paneer – 1 tbs
Mawa – 1/2 tbs

Now place the filling in the centre of the triangle and bring the sides of the butter to overlap the filling.

What a rich sweet !!! Makkan Samosa sounds so unique, never head it before !!! Mawa with butter , the combination itself makes me drooling. Glad you tried and shared the recipe here,Gayathri !!!
Wow recreating a recipe just by taste is simply great Gayathri… Making just one is the perfect way for portion control. Such a rich and deliciously sweet.
Awesome.. Great effort and love the filling used.. I badly wanted to taste makkan samosa!!
oh wow ! u made 1 piece – I would heave just given up 🙂 I kept looking for a savoury element in the samosa name but this such a delicacy ! great pick 🙂
That is definitely a sinful treat, Gayathri. The recreation is stunning. Awesome work.
That sounds like a very very rich and decadent Makkan based dessert. Love that samosa shape, looks very inviting and appealing. And the filling sounds awesome.
Wow what a unique sweet dish. Its very very rich.
I do remember our halt and how you enjoyed it then, what a wonderful recreation of that sweet Gayathri. The process sounds so tough yet you make it sound so easy..awesome one yaar!
Omg !!! Gayathiri you are genius, attempting something which you had is so hard !! You have done a wonderful job covering the butter over the stuffing in spite of the humid weather in TN , you just nailed it I must say .. I know this is not easy to make a samosa shape with butter .. I bow done to your efforts !! Makkan samosa looks fabulous and perfectly made !! The samosas look so sinful ..
Wow such a royal dish! Looks amazing Gayathri! I bet it taste rich and creamy ! Kudos to all your delicate dishes!
Butter samosa, omg I am speechless Gayatri. I shall try it for my butter loving little one but not for me as I just cannot bear the smell of butter.
WOw! This must have been so hard to shape, especially with the heat. Kids would love this butter loaded samosa.
Wow, what a sinful treat! It is so rich and I am not able to imagine that the outer layer of samosa made with butter alone. I am wondering how this would taste?
OMG you recreated that makkan samosa to perfection! Kudos Gayathri! It must have been pretty tough to shape it but I think you nailed it!
