Samosa



Samosa !!! Samosa is everyone's favorite. Yesterday only I made these delicious samosas and in my family everyone loved it.  Earlier I don't use to add garlic in potato filling but when I came to know that my Father-in law likes garlic flavor in the filling so I thought to give it a try. This time I added garlic and I also loved that test. It's depends on your choice to select filling according to your taste, there is no hard and fast rule..
