How to Draw a Samosa
Draw a samosa in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
Across the lower half of your paper draw a big flat oval plate, not too near the edges.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second oval a finger inside the plate, all the way round, for the rim.
Step 3: The samosa
On the back of the plate draw a big plump triangle with soft round corners and a wide bottom.
Tip Rub out the plate lines inside the samosa.
Step 4: The fold
Start at the top point and draw a gently curved line down to the bottom edge, right of the middle.
Step 5: Crimped seam
Starting on the left edge, draw 5 short curved lines slanting in, from near the top down to the plate.
Step 6: A chutney bowl
Front left, draw a flat oval. Hang a U under it from end to end. Add a small oval inside.
Step 7: A mint sprig
Front right of the samosa, draw a little stem with 3 pointed leaves lying flat on the plate.
Step 8: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, around the samosa, the bowl and the mint. Leave the bowl white.
Step 9: Golden pastry
Colour both sides of the samosa ginger for golden pastry.
Step 10: Green chutney and mint
Go over your lines, then colour the chutney and the mint green. Your samosa is ready to eat!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a samosa, drawn by you.
