Do you sometimes wish to just give a great surprise to your family and friends? Make something they rarely see or eat, and they would definitely feel the surprise and if this something is extra tasty then it is just an absolute blessing. I made Potli Samosa and people just could not believe that these were actually made at home, be it the taste or the shape, both were a delight!
