CooKing Is FuN with Simran Luthria

Samiya Pokoda i learnt this when i was in my 12 Th in my mom's cooking classes. I just noted the recipe in my recipe book and dint  see that book for next 4 yrs. But after i got married and when i was moving to US i started hunting for my recipe books. I found this book and brought it here. So its after 5 yrs that i actually made this recipe for the first time. I had a small get together and i made this as appetizer. All my friends enjoyed this. And all of them took this recipe from me and tried it out they were happy when their pakoda's came out good too. You all try it and enjoy it too.
