Description
This Hyderabad version of the mince samosa made me raise my eyebrows when I first got to see it in made in a television show. From then it was added to my to try list and only recently did I take the efforts of fulfilling it. Made with cupboard friendly ingredients with just the folding of the samosas being a tedious job. All that hard work sure flies away when you bite into the lukme with the fatty mince in it. A must try snack that sure will be added to your regulars at home.
