hmmm... What to show you....

I have two new things I've done recently, plus all my crafty stuff, and I was trying to decide what to show everyone.... I guess I'll show you Samosas first. :) and next time I'll talk about my Tiramisu cupcakes :D If I remember to post again soon.... lol :)

(Wow, my last post is from August?? I'm super lame...)

So, don't know samosas?? Where have you BEEN??? They are a wonderful little deep fried appetizer like item that is so amazing and delicious and filled with potatoes, peas, onions and all sorts of Indian spices, yum!

I actually managed to make mine a little healthier too by baking them! WHAT?

First you make the filling... I boiled cut up potatoes until they were soft, and in a pan sauteed in oil onions, curry powder, and garam masala, garlic and ginger and maybe something else, I can't remember, and then I drained the potatoes, mashed them and added the spice mixture, a little lemon juice, and frozen peas...

Then I made the wrapper, which was basically whole wheat pie dough, easy enough, flour, butter/oil, baking powder, a little water to bind it, and then you roll it out into little circles, which if you want to get fancy you can do it like real Indians do and make it into these cute little triangle purses, nope, too lazy... I just rolled it into circles, put a couple tablespoons of filling in it, a little water on the edge to make sure the pastry sticks together, press it, put them all on a baking sheet and baked them until the outside was browned. :D

Rollin' rollin' rollin' dough

My filling :) Which I believe also had Cilantro... Makes it tastier..

Now, also....

I made a cilantro/mint chutney...

Blend mint, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.... It makes a LOVELY dipping sauce :)

Now, my recipe was partially made up/partially from www.foodnetwork.com

I would advice you to find a recipe on Food Network or some other online cooking source... Because mine is VERY non-exact...

yum...

I'm hungry now.
