Samosas - kind of

After reading Krispi's entry about the Samosas, I had to give them a go. First, I must say that I want that lovely little gadget she has to create the pockets. Incredibly cool and it makes the samosas look so pretty. Mine were not beautiful, (Are you seeing a pattern here with my cooking?) but, they were delicious.


I followed the recipe out of the most recent edition of the book (here is the link: Samosas). I guess "followed" should be used loosely. My first change was that I used whole wheat flour and as a result I had to add some water to the dough to make it pliable. For the filling, I cut up two sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes and boiled and then mashed them. I sauteed onion and garlic and then I threw in a bunch of spinach. Again, are you surprised? No. I mixed all of the filling together with a little toss of mozzarella (cheese makes everything better), salt and pepper.


The final result:

Like I said, they aren't beautiful and the dipping sauce (in the most recent edition, here is the link again: Samosas) is a MUST.

Side note: My 3 year old had been refusing to eat dinner for the last week and he usually is a great eater. He said he wanted pie and that was it. Can you blame the kid? So, we had pies for dinner!! He was very excited to have pie and LOVED the dipping sauce. He actually ate 2 large pies! 


When we had leftovers the next day for lunch, his first question was, "Mommy, where is my dipping sauce?".  


Thank you Krispi for trying this one out.
