SAMOSA

I was never a big fan of samosas. I used to have it about once or twice a year. But like a twist in every bollywood movie, two weeks back i had fresh home-made samosas at a relatives’ place and i simply loved it! It was made with very simple stuffing yet it tasted great.  I quickly got the recipe and as soon as i got the chance i made them. There is something nice about home-made snacks, though am not if its the oil or the freshness.

Samosa

Samosa is basically a fried pastry filled with savoury stuffing. It can be made with any stuffing of ones choice. Some options include mixed veggies, potatoes, chicken, mutton etc. I made this batch with a simple potato filling.

The patties for the samosa can be bought from the store also. Samosas can be pre-made and frozen and fried as and when required. If you have any doubt regarding folding the samosa patty, you can check out this link.

A great tea time snack for kids and adults. Easy to make and definitely healthier than ready-made store bought ones.
