Samosa, the most famous street snack, gets a make over! we have used paneer and capsicum instead of the usual potato mixture. Health buffs, go for low-fat paneer and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 15 to 20 minutes, or till done.

If you are one who loves samosa then you must also try other variants like Spicy Rice Samosa , Pyaz Ke Samose , Hariyali Samosa and Chinese Samosa .
