mmmm... samosas.. these were really yummy.. but samosas always are and are pretty hard to mess up Wink .. heres what i changed (cuz i always change something hehe) i added a bunch of garlic powder.. i didnt have the mango powder or garam masala, so i just added a tablespoon of curry powder instead.. i also added a chopped onion and some sesame seeds.. for the dough i used coconut oil and added a little bit of baking powder since i baked these instead of fried them.. all in all they were/are very good.. i dipped them in some tamarind-date chutney and put a leaf or two of cilantro on each bite.. yummy yummy yummy  Thumbs Up

I used the dough recipe from here so I'll comment on that. It was GREAT! I used whole wheat flour and it was spectacular. I don't how much water I used to hold everything together but it seemed to work. I also added a little baking powder.

One thing I will say--I don't know how to get 16 samosas out of that batch--I like my samosas big (reminds me of this place I used to get samosas all the time in college). I made 8 instead of 16--some of them were a decent size, but I'd rather have a little big than way too tiny.

just made these. they were really good! but i have a questions...

how much water DO you need to get the dough right? and by a "hard dough" i wasn't sure if mine was hard. i liked the outcome, but i also didn't have enough dough to make 16 and the dough was hard to roll into a ball. maybe i didn't have enough water?

i had a samosa with cashew nuts inside and they were so yummy! so i added peanuts to mine and they were delicious! Smiley can't wait to perfect this recipe.
