Notes
Add lemon juice if you don't have amchur powder. You can also add chopped onions to the filling. Be liberal while adding the filling but ensure you are able to close it properly. Add grated cheese along with the filling to make cheesy samosa puffs. Make and eat them warm and fresh. But if gone cold, you can reheat them in the microwave.
