Directions
Samosas (Moosewood), I know there are several samosa recipes out there, but our family just loves these They are totally worth the time it takes to make them From The Moosewood Cookbook Number of servings is approximate – it’s plenty for 4 or 5 people Note: I find I often have more filling than pastry, but I have also found that the filling freezes fine if you want to save it for another batch – or you can just mix up some more dough and eat it all! I’ve used leftover piecrust in a pinch and just thrown them in the oven to brown rather than frying and they came out just fine , The diugh that you make for these is wonderful it’s light airy and delicious I do not mash the potatoes I shred them as do I and the carrots Simply a marvelous appetizer, These were absolutely delicious! The filling was such a wonderful balance of flavours, paired with the wonderful pastry (which I totally recommend you all making) even if it took awhile longer they turned out beautifully Love this Moosewood recipe!
