This is one samosa stuffing I need to try. Thanks for sharing and I'll be doing it sometime soon.
Thanks for the alternate recipe, Mitara. I'm sure your American fans will appreciate the time you took to adapt your recipe to American ingredients and means of cooking.
Mitara, this looks delicious. I don't know what samoosa pastry is or if it's available in the U.S. Could I substitute puff pastry?
These sound like tasty treats. I like spicy food, so I'm sure I'd like your samoosas.
Good recipe. In India we fill potato fillings also which is very common.
