Chocolaty Samosa

A Samosa is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils, ground lamb or chicken. The size, shape and consistency may vary, but many versions are triangular. Samosas are often accompanied by chutney. They are a popular appetizer or snack in the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Southwest Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Mediterranean, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and South Africa.

If the samosa comes with a surprise, what will be your reaction? Here is one of my crazy idea with chocolates, which we had in a week day office-return snack. The first bite, changed our tired mood. Hope you like it.
