Title: Chicken Samosas from the Indian cookbook
Post by: milnead on November 18, 2012, 10:35:20 pm

They are absolutely lovely! I followed the recipe to the letter. I used dough number one, and being my first try I had some trouble separating the sheets, but still got enough usable ones for the stuffing. However, preparing the dough by this method does take some time. I think, if you are going to fry them right away, you can probably get away with just rolling the circles (one at a time) as thin as possible, "paint" them with oil and then stretch them as you would strudel pastry, then fill and fry as you go. Or else use spring roll wrappers.
But then, I got my sense of accomplishment as mentioned in the recipe, when my friends absolutely loved them.

Thanks for a comprehensive review milnead!  I love the recipes from this book but I haven't tried these samosas yet.  Will give them a go soon . . . :D

Thank you. I always mean to make these, but after your review they are on the definite list.
I can imagine your sense of achievement with the dough. Well done.
