Indian Samosa

“Instead of making the shell by hand, use Phillo Dough … its not too far from the real thing and saves *lots* of time.Also good to spray on olive oil and bake in an oven till golden brown for a low-fat healthy version”

“These hit the spot.I added cashew pieces to a few of these and they turned out nicely as well.”

“a real flavor delightbut a bit involved … would be a good one to make with my nephews.”

“These were very good. I might use a little less green chilies and add some peas to the mix next time. I used phyllo dough and baked at 400* for 30-35 minutes. Served with Tamarind Date Chutney #156496. Was delicious. .”

“Fantastic!Satisfied my craving for some indian food.Living in Turkey, I miss the indian restaurants in the uk and so im now trying to make all my own food.This was simple and tasty.I didnt have any fresh coriander or coriander seed so just used a teaspoon of powdered coriander.Next time will try it with the fresh stuff.”

“Yum! My first real foray into a home-cooked Indian meal. These were awesome! I used puff pastry/phyllo dough to wrap the filling in; then baked them at 400º. Perfect. We garnished them with recipe# 103021 ‘Coriander and Mint Chutney’ with a bit of yogurt. I also used a bit more Garam Masala and cilantro in the mix because we like the flavors. It was fun to make this because I also used coriander seed from my own herb garden. Thanks for sharing!”

“I took tuafiq’s advice and used Phyllo dough. This was the first time I have made samosas or used phyllo dough. Each samosa had 5 layers/sheets of dough and I sprayed olive oil between each sheet, as well as on top. The potato mixture has to be cooled before stuffing. I put them in the oven at 325 until golden. Pefect when re warming in the oven for later. I followed the potato recipe with the following exceptions: used cumin seeds instead of coriander, used half as much cayenne pepper and jalepeno. got rave reviews at a dinner party!!”

“oh my goodness good!!I didn’t have exactly all the right spices and no green chilies.. so I used what I had (added cayenne for heat), and although the dough took a bit of time, it was not hard work and they were delicious deep fried!I even managed the shape, thank you!Oh, and put together a quick tomato sauce to dip, so so good!And a note in response to someone else’s tastes – my deep fried version, re-heated in the oven the next night were not better, I had hoped, but definitely best fresh.thank you!”

“This filling is pretty tasty. I doubled the recipe with success. Making the filling was pretty straight forward and came together quickly.I do not have indian chili powder so used cayenne instead.I also added additional cilantro as other reviewers have suggested.I used phillo dough and baked the samosas.I thought using phillo dough would be easier but since I’ve never used phillo dough before was utterly confused once I thawed the box and found 20 super thin sheets. I quickly went to google to look up a video on how to use phillo dough!I also made “burritos” since the triangles were a bit advanced for me.Everything came out great though and the taste was quite yummy. Thank you for posting! This is something I would make again.”

“YUM! My family devoured these. I also used Phillo dough. The first time I tried them deep fried. (Crispy) The second time I baked at 400 for a healthier alternative and they tasted just as good! (Flaky) It’s really good with Easy Cranberry Chutney (recipe #104757)”

“the filling was excellent!I didn’t make the pastry and instead used spring roll wrappers… i also used a little less turmeric (personal preference) and added a little bit more garam masala.Excellent Charishma! :)”

“Good recipe.I used one less potato and added browned, ground turkey.I also added a little cayenne to make it spicy.Very unique and very delicious.we were surprised how well the potato blended with the dish.Personally, I think the meat was a great addition to the texture.This recipe is a great “base” to be creative using your own ideas.The chiles really put a lot of flavor into any dish and I have started using them in a lot of my cooking since last year (since I started cooking Indian food).”

“Very tasty, for those of us who have no time to Knead the dough you can use dough cycle in your bread machine .I substituted the oil for some cold butter then added water. I find any leftover works and you can even take your spagetti leftover sauce with a little bit of cheese and make them mini pizzas I also putapples in them for a sweet treat”

“I loved this!!!!! I doubled this recipe and I also browned half pound of ground beef and added it to the onions and carried on with the rest of the recipe. Also I did add about half cup of chopped cilantro instead of one tablespoon. For the pastry I used filo dough and sprayed the samosas with Pam butter and baked them in the oven till golden brown (35-45 min) I’m horrible at forming the little samosas into triangles. Mine were coming out like little blobs. After a while I decided to just fold the dough over and just make mini burrito shaped samosas! Me being Mexican American and my DH British Pakistani I gave birth to the burito samosa LOL. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe. I love Indian food and this was the filling that I had been craving for! It hit the spot, and the somosas had an incredible flavor that one should enjoy when your taste buds are on a quest for something savory and exotic. This filling was very delicious, and tastes just like something that you would expect to get in Indian restaurants.I think adding the extra corriander seeds and extra cilantro help bring out the flavor. I should also add that the flavor comes out even better the next day after the filling as soaked up all the spices and has been chilled in the fridge over night. These are great cold or warm. The best curry houses in the UK would be jealous.=0) Thank you so much!!!!”

“I just made these and they are delicious!, you can add shredded chicken if you want. The dough recipe also works for brazilian pastel (its deep fried with cheese, or ground meet, or almost anything).>br/

“You can also us Goya’s empanada frozen disks, they’re very good.”

“i just made the pastry and used leftover curry to stuff it with. it was very easy and good. thanks for posting.”

“The filling was awesome!! I added a few frozen peas – will definitely make this part of the recipe again for both samosas and aloo naan/paratha (without the peas).I won’t comment on the dough part as I’ll end up cursing. Texture was great and by no fault of the recipe, just a little frustrating wrapping them.Next time, I’ll just buy samosa wrappers.”

“Wonderful recipe. thex tasted just like I remember them from home. I also like the filling as a main dish with some salad! Thank you for posting!”

“I took Spyce’s suggestions and the samosa’s turned out beautifully!Really delicious!”
