Roomali Roti Samosa In Vadodara Is Leaving Us In Fascination

In Vadodara, a special kind of samosa is prepared by using roomali roti. Known as patti samosa, these samosas come with thinner outer layers, are smaller and much crispier than usual samosas. The makers of patti samosas put the potato stuffing inside rectangular pieces cut out of roomali rotis. What’s more, these samosas are served with fried green mirchi. Food vlogger Amar Sirohi uploaded a video of patti samosa on his channel Foodie Incarnate and it is going viral now! Sirohi confirmed that the samosa is very delicious.
