How to Make Mutton Samosa (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Mutton Samosa is a beloved Malaysian snack that perfectly captures the essence of our vibrant multicultural cuisine. Popular at Ramadan bazaars and family gatherings, these golden parcels are filled with aromatic minced mutton, fresh herbs, and a medley of local spices. The fusion of Indian Muslim culinary influences with Malaysian twists like daun ketumbar (coriander leaves) and rempah (spice blend) makes this dish truly unique to our local food culture. This healthy mutton samosa recipe is thoughtfully crafted for those who want to enjoy traditional Malaysian flavors without excessive calories. Instead of deep-frying, we use an air fryer or oven bake method to reduce oil, making it lighter yet just as crunchy. The filling is rich in flavor—spiced with cumin, coriander, and a hint of cili padi (bird's eye chili) for heat—complemented by the freshness of bawang besar (onion) and daun sup (Chinese celery), offering a truly authentic Malaysian taste. Whether served during tea time or as a snack for special occasions, this mutton samosa is sure to delight.
