Namaste!
We are on a rest day at Ajanta Caves in the state of Maharashtra.
Dennis, Morris, our 2 bus drivers (Kusirom and Sarapjeet) and I went for breakfast at a chai shop just down from where we are staying this morning. They were just opening and making the day's offerings - Poorha, Pakora, Samosas and of course, chai.
Each employee had his specialty and I got to assist with the samosas!!

| First you need energy to make the samosas, so we all had some freshly made poorha! (Rice flakes, spices, toasted peanuts, fresh coriander) |
The dough is made and divided into portions to be rolled out
A small rolling pin and a specific shape to aim for (elliptical cut in half)
The filling - a sauce + potatoes, onions, chilli's, etc mixed up
I was better at rolling out the dough than creating the cone to add the filling to, but with guidance I'd probably make 4 - 5 in a day! (vs. 1-2 minutes for each)
Stuffing added
SAMOSAS!!
