SAMOSA A SAVOURY SNACK

I sincerely hope you would share the same passion as me!

Samosa is a popular savoury snack.  Known for its triangular shape. 

A perfect balance of crispiness on the outside, with warm and delicious filling inside.

Filled with meat or vegetables; in actual fact just about anything your heart desires.

They are generally fried.  However, if you prefer, sprinkle with some oil and bake in an oven.
