Samosa





Samosa is a popular street food now everywhere in India and other countries. Samosa is a fried pastry with a savoury filling. Widly in India it is filled with spiced potatoes and peas. But now days there are varity of fillings such as onions, peas, cheese, meat, lentils or dry fruits or even chocolate. Chocolate samosa is popular in kids. The Indian style, often accompanied by two types of chutneys, the green one is made with mint, cilantro, ginger  that is Hari (green colour) chutney and other is meethi (sweet in taste) made with tamarind, dates and jaggery. So don't forget to ask for these chutneys.
Some part of india samosa comes with pav (indian dinner rolls) called Samosa pav and ragda as well called samosa chaat. Ragda is basically curry made out of chickpeas or potatos. This samosa chaat is so heavy that it is a complete one time meal in it. I feel Samosa pav is from Mumbai. People over here need to run up the clock, so instead of just having samosa they prefer it with pav so it became filling for tummy and don't need to mess your hands or shirt.
Samosa is originated in middle eat or central Asia. It welcomed by India in 13th or 14th century by traders from central Asia.
Now this lip smacking Samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the local cuisines of the Indian subcontinent, Western Asia, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and Africa. Due to emigration from these areas, samosas today are often prepared in other regions.
Next time if you see Samosa then you know what to do.. don't let it go foodies.
Happy eating!

Varan Fal

papad               This lockdown blessed me a long stay at my hometown. Beautiful childhood memories, simple homemade food and long chat with neighbours who are family now! My neighbour Aunt cooks amazing food. When I was child I used to play knowingly in front of her house every evening hoping she would call me inside and feed me that aromatic, mouthwatering dish whatever she has made for dinner. And this trick worked always.. 😉                Varan fal is one of the comfort dish I always adore. This is something special because every house has it's own version of Varan fal. Today my Aunt made varan fal for me, so how can I forgot this dish to share with you!              Basic preparations are same in each recipe, just spices or the way of making is varies. My Aunt makes it with mix lentils like toor dal (pigeon pea), chana dal ( Split chickpea), moong dal ( yell...

Crispy Millet bhakri with brinjal curry.

             Summer is round the corner and this menu poped up in my mind. This is one of the special menu for me. Dharwadi bhakri, kala masla vangi bhaji, kairichi chatni. My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...
