Paneer Samosa

 This snack crossed my mind when I was thinking too hard to make a evening snack for my tough Mils (hee hee hee!!) who are on the way for a pleasant and surprise visit. Not-so-Healthy (as it is deep fried), Not-so-Heavy dish is fine for a weekend majja.

Instructions for  making samosa shape:

2.  Cut the round into two half. 2 semi circles.
3.  Place the Paneer stuffing in the right place and connect the tip and middle of the semi circle.
4. Press the edges and make use of the remaining strip to roll one more layer.
5. Make sure the dough is spread into a thin layer so that we make crispy samosa.
6. Deep fry these samosa in oil till it becomes golden yellow.

Hope this was informative and encouraging to make samosas at home. Have a Lovely weekend ahead.
