Gobi Singada

Sound so different & interesting na.
At first go, its sound like we are talking about any Indian gravy with Gobi (cauliflower) & Singada(Water chestnut), & here the twist comes. This is the Bengali snack made from Gobi & here Singada means Samosa. In Bengali, its Gobi Singada & in Panjabi we can say its Gobi da Samosa.


I got to know about this snack on discovery channel & its amazing, where Chef Rhode is travelling all over the India for exploring Indian cusine.
