The march 8th, 2017
Today's post comes after a long hiatus. I took this opportunity to wish all my friends A Happy Women's Day!!
May this day and future life bring health and peace to all.
Enjoying the afternoon meal with a hot, comforting and delicious mixed veg soup followed by main course lunch dishes and end with a rich plum cake. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The evening's kick start was an attempt at making the most lovable snack across the length and breadth of India,' The Samosa'
I gathered myself and collected all the items needed for the recipe from my kitchen store.
I was actually happy at the end result after putting in lot of efforts for making samosas.
Here goes the recipe, and some pictures.
The recipe was retrieved from internet, how to fold samosas was the actual trick I wanted to learn, so thanks to you tube channel, the vahrehvah chef who showed it the right way!!
