My hubby has been asking me for about 2 months that If I know to make samosas. I kept saying yes, I do!.. But somehow didn’t make it for him till last week. Finally thought of giving him a surprise one evening and I prepared it. Thank god, it came out really well. He was very much impressed with the taste.
