Indian Potato Samosa
Be it a snack or appetizer, Indian Potato Samosas are best served while they are still hot and crunchy. This famous snack has its origins from the Middle East and was actually enjoyed by the princes and nobles! Triangle in shape, samosas can be stuffed with a variety of meat and vegetables, though they are traditionally vegetarian in India. Dip it in mint or your favorite chutney for a refreshing aftertaste.

Make samosa filling
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a heavy skillet. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are translucent.
