Samosa - One of the most liked Indian Tea Time Dish.
This was dad’s favourite Sunday Breakfast.
And my husband CP also loves samosa, probably one of the few oil fried things that he loves eating.
So, this was a must try.
I still remember how Mom used to cook these on low flame and I always said - How do you manage to have so much patience to cook such stuff on low flame.” She would just smile and say, “patience se hi result achha ata hai aur tum sabke liye banane mein mazaa ata hai.” Now I can relate to what she used to feel after doing this. 😊
