Directions
Samosas,This comes from the Time Life series of international cookbooks and has been a family favourite in our house for at least 10 years. It’s best to set aside a morning to make these and haul someone in the kitchen to help put them together. Although they are not difficult to make, it does go faster if you set up an “assembly line”. The seasoning given here is what I would consider a minimum but you may want to add more to your taste, especially when it comes to the hot pepper. You could also do half potatoes and half carrots for the filling if you like. The amount this recipe makes is also a guess based on our samosas, which are bigger than bite sized but not as big as you get in some Indian shops. If you don’t have a deep fryer, you could use a wok instead. If you are really set on doing a healthier version, you could brush these with oil and bake in an oven until browned on both sides, however the texture of the dough is not as good as if you fry them. If you choose the baking option, you may also have to brush them with oil a few times and flip at least once to get them reasonably browned all over. Frying is really the preferred method.,Leave out the fennel seed! I only added a third of what it called for and it was waaaaay too strong still. Otherwaise delicious!,The recipe would have been five star except for the fennel seed. I only added one tsp whereas the recipe called for three and it was waaaaay too strong of a fennel flavour. Id leave it or completely next time, or only add 1/4tsp. Otherwise these were so delicious!
