I still remember the first time I had a crispy onion samosa at a street food stall in Delhi. The combination of the crunchy exterior and the sweet, caramelised onions inside was a game-changer for me. Since then, I’ve been hooked on this flavour combination, and I’m excited to share my recipe with you!
