Samosas-- the original recipe
I decided to try the Samosas using the actual ingredients called for in the cookbook. It was disappointing to say the least! I am bummed since I made these as a dinner offering for our friends Terese and Brian and new baby girl. I am surprised that they were so blah! The only thing that saved them was the dipping sauce (which isn't in my early copy of the cookbook.) I did run out of stuffing since I was making a double recipe, so opened a jar of spaghetti sauce, added peas and some cheese and pre-cooked frozen hamburger. They were much better than the original recipe. So I suggest that the recipe be zipped up a bit, maybe adding mustard powder rather than mustard seeds.

I, too, am hooked on the Samosas. Perhaps it is because I am so close to saying, "We are having Mimosas for dinner". I have to branch out this week and try something new from the book. I am just finding that I have a hard time sticking to her recipes because we tend to like "more sauce" or "more spice". Hmmmmm. BTW, I wouldn't try the "Sweet Potato and Broccoli Salad" as it is written. Go for an Italian or Balsamic dressing or it will be a waste of some truly delicious vegetables.
