Treasure Hunting with MBP

Well, let me count…..it’s five whole months. I have not eaten decent samosas in five months. I landed in US five months back, and before coming here, I had made a list and devoured every junk item that I thought I wouldn’t find in the US. I did eat some samosas here, but they were pathetic and very, very oily. So, it’s been five months since my heart and tongue have been craving for samosas and for a total junkie like me, five months is a long wait.

And now, thanks to MBP and my blog buddy Rooma’s recipe, I made and ate delicious samosas right at home:-). I am new to food blogging and in the process of discovering all the blog events. When I came to know about MBP and the theme for this month, I saw it as a perfect opportunity to make something that I had been longing for. I loved the theme for this month – finger foods. I love eating food with hands. In fact, I don’t find my tummy filled if I eat something with a knife and fork. I have had some awkward moments while attempting to eat vadas with a fork, the vada just got air-borne and landed on the nearby table:-)

I was on the lookout for a samosa recipe. I loved Rooma’s recipe and the step-by-step instructions. I wanted to surprise my hubby and chose to make samosas for evening tea. The whole process took close to an hour. One variation that I made was that I added a little bit of ajwain to the masala. Also, I kept the gas on low flame while frying the samosas.

The samosas were fun to make and turned out just as I had wanted them to. Imagine, hubby’s surprised look when he came home to find hot samosas waiting with tea!
