Onion Samosas!

It’s been raining here and my husband and I wanted to go have some hot snacks and tea outside.But we were just too lazy to move even an inch. So I planned to makes samosas with potato..thinking that would be easy.Half way through making the samosa wrap, I realised I didn’t have potatoes.

Oh no!!folks..before u start a dish please check whether u have all the items needed.Without much thought I decided to fill it our all time favourite onion stuffing.

  • Take 2 cups of Maida and 1 tsp of ghee and 1 tsp of ajwin and mix them together.
