Ingredient appreciation — what makes Samosa special

What sets Samosa apart is the handling of ghee. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the tangy and vibrant result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Indian cuisine varies enormously by state, religion, and climate. The a family home kitchen on a weekend atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had nimbu pani lemon water as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Samosa is the place to start.
