Food vlogger Abishek Ashra uploaded a video on Instagram showcasing the traditional preparation process of dry fruit samosas at Vidhi Samosa in Surat.

In the next step, a large drum of dal is poured into the mixture and stirred thoroughly. Poha, along with an array of masalas and nariyal ka burada (desiccated coconut powder), is added to the mix. Then comes the most important part - the dry fruits, including cashews and raisins. Finally, the ingredient-filled mixture is carefully added to the dough, which is folded from the sides into a triangle shape. And voila! These dry fruit samosas are fried to perfection and served with delicious red chutney.
