Description
In my early days of blogging and exploring of food recipes through the world wide net, my favourite interest’s were filled and stuffed Indian snacks ( it’s still my favourite though ). I used to take note of all the recipes that interested me in my hand written cook book. Recently while cleaning my cook book shelf in the kitchen … dusting and wiping the cook books. I just flip pages of all my hand written cook books. This very recipe caught my interest at that moment. Well, the next thing was to try it. The long process and stages of this very recipe did get me tired but it all vanished away until I had my first taste bite of this divine stuffed square. I swear .. it was a perfect all in all one bite with taste and flavour. As I am typing, there is a tsunami of saliva in my mouth .. As a matter of fact, I have to have this snack right now.
