Aldi Is Selling A Samosa And Roti Maker For Delicious Indian Delicacies

My kitchen is overflowing with appliances – first there was the pie maker, then the family pie maker, then a new deep dish jaffle machine and now Aldi is launching a samosa maker! Aaargh, my husband is going to go crazy when I bring it home!

So for those who have never tried one of these traditional Indian delicacies, they are fried, usually triangular-shaped pastries with a yummy savoury filling, such as vegetables, mince, chicken, potatoes, peas or lentils.

To prepare them the samosa is usually deep-fried in oil until crisp and crunchy and served warm accompanied by chutney.

But they’re a bit fiddly to make and who really wants to sit over a pot of boiling hot oil. And let’s not even talk about the calories.

But Aldi is making samosa-making accessible to all of us, launching a Samosa Maker as part of its Special Buys Catalogue next Wednesday 30 September.

Aldi Samosa Maker

Make Your Own Samosas Easily

The samosa maker comes with non-stick cooking plates, automatic temperature control and can make up to 24 samosas.
It is priced at $39.99 (which happens to be a $10 increase from last year).

Plus best of all, the samosas are baked, rather than fried, making them a fair healthier treat.

To use the machine, all you need to do is add a layer of any kind of pastry to the machine, top it with a layer of filling (sweet or savoury). Then add another layer of pastry. Close the samosa maker and after a few minutes, you’ll have 24 delectable triangles of goodness. YUM!

Watch!

We found a video of how to use a samosa maker. This particular one looks almost exactly the same as the Aldi one so we reckon this would probably work very similarly.

DIY Roti’s

Aldi is also selling a Roti Maker at the same time for $29.99.

Roti is a soft, flat Indian bread, traditionally cooked on a tawa, but electronic roti makers are becoming increasingly popular. You just need to place a ball of roti dough into the maker and one minute later, you’ll have a warm fresh roti.

Aldi Roti Maker

Accompanying the makers on the Aldi shelves, will be a variety of Indian foods, including spices, simmer sauces, dahl and poppadoms for $2.99 for a 70g pack (available in three flavours – Sweet Chilli, Original or Barbecue).

These look great but you can only have so many appliances in your kitchen and I’m sure you can achieve the same results with a oven pan, fork and sandwich press.

No thanks I have enough, there are other ways for making these without the appliances.

I was tempted by the samosa maker last year, but I’m very conscious of the number of appliances I have…

Clever appliances, with the added benefit of creating baked as opposed to fried food. Not sure where Aldi products are made and product tested though, and increasingly concerned about their electrical appliances, especially with the recent issues with the jaffle maker.

No need for new appliance in our home.

Good idea but I would never get enough use out of it to bother.

This looks great but ultimately it’s yet another appliance with limited use that will sit in the cupboard.

I’ll definitely pass on these delectable items – they would be a no-no in our house with our dietary restrictions any way.

I wish I could get to Aldi to be able to get these awesome deals. I think both the Samoa and the Roti maker would definitely be a great buy to save time and less frying so healthy meals…

Most people wouldn’t use it nearly enough to justify getting it and I definitely wouldn’t use it enough.

It’s a great idea but Aldi never seem to have enough for everyone to be able to buy once again
