We hope you agree that deep fried treats are the best food group. When crunchy, crispy and hot, they're the perfect snack, meal or even dessert. And now during the monsoon, it's just harder to say no to them, nevermind their greasiness. So, we've put together a list of our favourite fried foods for you to make this week—from melty cheese samosas to crunchy wontons. Just remember to keep your steaming cup of chai ready.
