Samosa
Just to share with you…..
Samosa is my favourite from my school days. In my place when I was in school in the evening we can see lots of people selling puffs (not the vegpuff ) . It is Samosa with fried onion filling inside. I love it a lot than potato stuffing. You can fry onion (cutted length wise)with little salt and chilli powder and can use as stuffing.This is so simple and delecious stuffing. But now we are going to see how to make samosa with potato filling.
