Samosa
Chicken Samosa
I feel like samosas are a must have during ramadan. Over the years, I have come up with several different ways to make a samosa. Today, I made my samosas using lavash bread. The good thing about this recipe is that it allows you to have somewhat of a healthy samosa and prepare it in no time. For an even more healthier samosa, use whole wheat lavash bread and less oil. As you can see I don’t deep fry my samosa, I feel like the traditional samosas can be too oily. I hope you try my lavash version samosa. It never disappoints me.
