EASY BAKED INDIAN SAMOSAS



Easy Baked Indian Samosas image

This has all the flavor and heartiness of a great samosa without the frying. Although this is an easier, healthier version of the fried samosa, it tastes very authentic. This recipe has the added advantage that you can make ahead and freeze uncooked samosas, simply skip the egg brushing, freeze until you're ready and cook at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, plain, or with chutney.

Slightly spicy dish traditionally served during rahmadan. I had it when a classmate brought it for his demonstration speech this past semester. I loved this dish, but have not made it myself yet. Would be good I think with rice and a salad.
