Hi
My name is Reshma Sheikh, from Bangalore, living in California with my
husband and two little daughters. I'm an engineer, taking a break from my
career to raise the kids. For us short-on-time types, this is an easy samosa
recipe that can be prepared ahead of time, or made at a short notice. I use
onion filling, but you can also add kheema (minced meat) if you desire.
