  As everyone knows, samosas, is a fried pastry with a savory filling. They are famous not only in Pakistan/India but all over the world. They are crunchy, flaky, golden and spicy. Some people like baked samosas. We can fry samosas in the air fryer too! Samosa can be stuffed with any vegetables but potato samosa or ground meat samosa are the most common. My son and my daughter-in-law like samosas but, they prefer homemade samosas.     Usually, I make potato, peas or meat samosas but, last week my son bought some beyond meat so I     made samosas with beyond meat, and everyone liked it.My daughter-in-law asked me to post this recipe. I already posted my    “ Aloo samosa “ recipe. Now I am going to share with you this recipe.    I use carom seeds for samosa dough, you can buy carom seeds from any Pakistani /Indian grocery store.

First, wash them, rinse them under cold water, and dry them with a paper towel. Then remove the stems and discard them. Chop mushrooms and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze ...

  In earlier times, people used jaggery instead of white sugar because old people believed that jaggery and brown sugar is more natural than white sugar.   I remember when my grandfather used to eat a cube of jaggery after every meal, he would also give us some to eat and tell us that “by eating jaggery, food is digested quickly”. We did not understand these things at that time. We used to eat jaggery because, like all other children, we liked sweets. Now, when I read about it, I found that jaggery is not only sweet, but it is also good for your health.    It is true that our elders have more knowledge about natural things than us.  Beautiful cookies made by my daughter  I remember my grandmother used to make all her sweet dishes with jaggery or brown sugar instead of white sugar. I could not forget, even after so many years, what she used to make on rainy days: Sweet Tikki fried in mustard oil, sweet flat bread (meethi roti) flaxseed in jaggery, jaggery ch...
