SAMOSAS (MOOSEWOOD)



Samosas (Moosewood) image

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.

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients whenever possible, especially for the vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different peanut butters. Different brands and types can have different flavors and textures.
