Although Samosa is an Indian recipe, Nigerians can't seem to get it away from their eyes nor their mouth when it comes to small chops.
I really can't say if it is the filling or the crunchiness that makes this chop loved by a good number of people. Unfortunately, most small chops vendors have a way of making us crave for more of this snack by putting just a limited number of samosa in our small chops package'
Anyway, here's saying bye bye to their shakara as we shall be making this snack more often on our own.
