While traditional samosa or singara (that's what we Bengalis call it) are filled with a spicy potato filling, this one comes with a sweet filling made of reduced milk, milk solids and semolina, laced in sticky sugar syrup. The filling can also be made of chhana or cottage cheese, but I like the kheer version more.The given proportion yields around 40 small samosas or 30 large ones.See more on my blog post here: http://www.allthatsdelicious.com/mishti-singara-recipe

Aussie Beef Rolls Marinated in Sweet Onions Aussie Beef Rolls Marinated in Sweet Onions
I tried shabu-shabu style Aussie beef would turn out refreshing and delicious if I ate it with Hanamaru Market's (a morning TV show) All-purpose Spring Onion dressing, so I thought of this. The original recipe had less sugar, and used bonito flakes. When I tried making this, the meat turned out juicy just as I had imagined. It was cool and refreshing. Be careful about overeating because you will gobble this up in one bite~.Using Piyo-piyo's parboil method, the Aussie beef turned out juicy. By using Hanamaru Market's all-purpose spring onion dressing, you can eat this quite refreshingly. You will probably have leftover dressing. The dressing should hold for about a week in the fridge, so try it with lots of recipes. For 4 people. Recipe by Okaraseijin
