Few snacks are as versatile as the samosa. While they are stunning when served hot , they are equally good cold. It is best to serve them with lemon wedges when they are freshly fried. They should be served with dipping sauces like sweet and sour tamarind sauce or Chilli mayo when cold . Similarly , they are also good served with chutneys.
