Samosa day

So this was last weekend (16th May) – Sunday. I had a packet of maida in fridge since really long time, so had to use it or throw it (that’s my rule). I promised a friend of mine I will cook. That is different I said I will cook American choupsuey. Now I asked my mom how to make the dough n all for samosa. She told why are you cooking samosa, it’s so difficult, don’t try, better make something else. But it’s me I asked her how to make it and tried. So its Sunday evening plan, in afternoon me and my mate made the potato filling. We had sandwich of the same filling as lunch. Then we tried preparing the dough. Actually my mom had said making dough is most difficult but I made it as easy as poori dough so thought it was a success. Me and my roommate kept thinking why mumma said not to try, why did she say it’s hard. Then after nice card playing afternoon we started to kitchen. It is then we realized why mumma said it was difficult. We weren’t able to make flat thin chapatti of it, it was so brittle it was breaking; we weren’t able to make the crust of samosa. We used oil, used dry Atta somehow to make the crust, but no success. Whatever we try we weren’t able to cast it into semicircle to make the samosa exterior crust. Everyone tried their hands on the crust even who came to eat tried but no success. Then finally we gave up we made whatever shape it came and just covered the filling, whatever be the shape it will taste like samosa right. So then we just somehow made something that was like samosa. In the sense it had maida for crust and potato filling, it had weird shapes. We started to fry, we spoiled lot of oil as the filing was coming out of the crust and also it was taking unusually long time to cook so oil was burning too much. The outcome was some horrible looking, some samosa looking; and about taste – it tasted something like samosa. The filling was really nice but the crust was too hard  Anyways I conclude it still success, the outcome was equal to the agenda  The classic thing was when I told mom about my troubles she told probably the maid was spoiled, I got nice shock I was worried full night , thankfully my friends didn’t get sick. I realized all these should once be made in front of seniors, cooking requires lot of experience.
