  • A lovely aromatic recipe by me for Ramadan. Aaloo samosas with added goodness of flavourful kasuri methi, isn't that sound wonderfully appetising? Well, Yes ! It does ! The taste was just awesome and a dash of lemon juice makes it little bit tangy too. However this can be skipped if not desired. Dry mango powder works perfectly well too. Happy Frying !
