{Ramadan Special} – Mutton Kheema Samosa by Fareeha Ahamed of Fa’s Kitchen
I stumbled upon Fa’s Kitchen, this Ramadan only. A comment on one of our guest blog post on a social media site, lead me to her blog. Having living in Dubai for 10 years this newbie blogger has so much to tell you….Her blog is pure reflection of her inner self…call it a recipe or rambling….true to herself blogger…which makes her blog stand apart…I am happy though on very short notice, Fareeha has bought in these delicious samosa’s….
Before starting my recipe, I would like to thank Lubna for inviting me over to her fabulous Ramadan Fest. It’s awesome that she has been hosting it for the past 8 years. Kudos to her.
Now who isn’t aware of this dish? A very popular recipe all over India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, samosas are really a very versatile ad delicious fast food. Right from aloo samosa to mutton samosa to chicken samosa, there is something about it which really makes this item such a popular one. Samosas and iftar go hand in hand in our home. Ramadan is definitely not complete without it. The crispiness outside and the delicious keema inside really is pure bliss to eat after iftar. With ready made pattis available these days, making the samosa has definitely become easy and simple. Without further ado, let’s head over to our recipe.
