SAMOSA – IRRESISTIBLE INDIAN SNACK

EASY TO COOK FOOD RECIPES

Samosa is a luscious mouthwatering dish. If spicy it

may turn your eyes watery but instead of stopping to

eat, I bet, you will relish every bit of it. Mostly, we eat

this dish outside on street and rarely prepare it at

home believing that such a yummy food can only be

made by experts. A false notion that stopped me for

years from making this dish my-self and probably you

also feel the same.
