The samosas look great!
hello mam, i made it today and they were very delicious. i have one question that can i keep the raw stuffed samosa in the fridge or in deep freezer and fry it next day? one more request BAKED SAMOSA recpie please.
@meenakshi Thanks for trying it out, i dont think that will work,because the dough will get hard and break... you can fry it first and then freeze it. When you want it to serve, fry it again and serve.
so tempting and crispy samosa.. It is pouring outside.. don't mind a cup of tea with samosa!
