In the vibrant streets of Surat, Gujarat, the aroma of sizzling snacks fills the air, and among them, the Dal Kanda Patti Samosa holds a special place. This crispy, flavorful delight is not just a snack but a testament to Surat’s rich culinary heritage.
At Modheshwari Samosa, we take immense pride in offering a culinary experience that captures the essence of Surat’s rich street food culture. Our Dal Kanda Samosa, a beloved Surti specialty, is more than just a snack—it’s a tradition passed down through generations, meticulously crafted to deliver an authentic taste that resonates with every bite.

The Essence of Surti Dal Kanda Patti Samosa
Unlike the ubiquitous potato-filled samosas, the Surti version boasts a unique filling of spiced chana dal (split Bengal gram) and onions. Encased in a thin, crispy pastry known as ‘patti’, this samosa offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors—crunchy on the outside and savory within.
Ingredients That Make It Special
The magic of this samosa lies in its filling, which typically includes:
- Boiled chana dal: Cooked until tender yet retaining a slight bite.
- Onions: Finely chopped and sautéed to bring out their sweetness.
- Spices: A blend of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.
- Aromatics: Ginger-garlic paste and green chilies for a flavorful kick.
- Enhancers: A touch of sugar to balance the flavors.
- Garnishes: Chopped mint and coriander leaves.
The outer layer, or ‘patti’, is made from a simple dough of all-purpose flour, rolled thinly to achieve that signature crispiness.
