Samosa

Crowning glory of Indian snack is...... Samosa. Sits like a King on the plate with its fat tummy is..... Samosa. Snack, which is relished by each and everyone on this planet is.... Samosa. I mean the admiration is endless of this deep fried, scrumptiously delicious wonder snack. So, Samosa is the only Indian snack which is pretty famous in all around the world. It is a deep-fried /baked Tea time snack which is filled with boiled and seasoned Potato mixture. Stuffing varies according to region. Paneer, Meat, Cheese are some other stuffing. It is served as an appetizer or evening snack, accompanied with Green Coriander chutney and Sweet Sonth chutney Sometimes with boiled and seasoned Chick-Peas and Yoghurt. Traditionally, it is made of Maida(AP Flour) only but I add Whole Wheat flour and All purpose flour in equal ratio which can serve the purpose of having less guilt while relishing the delicacy whole heartedly.
