Notes
Samosa tastes very good, when it is just made. But sometimes, if you are making it in advance and just microwaving it before eating, then too taste will be good.
Chef Tips:
- Enjoy yummy with green chutney and Khajur imli ki chutney.
- Fry 2-3 samosa at a time, depends on the size of the pan you are heating.
