Samosas

Brian loves a vegetable samosa, so I decided I needed to try and make some to satisfy his craving. He just so happened to buy me an Indian cookery book ‘the Indian cookery course’ by Monisha Bharadwaj.

It’s a lovely book, well written with good clear photography and recipes. I’ve tried a few from it now, and have to say they are very good - they are easy to follow, not too many ingredients (especially ones you cannot find in a french supermarket), and very tasty. I made vegetable, which is potatoes and peas, and meat ones - which I kind of made up as I had some left over mince.

We had prepared the dough during the day, which didn’t take long. I’d got the potatoes all cooked and chopped up. Then when we were ready to assemble and fry them off we had a little industrious samosa line going. All enjoyed with a suitably well mixed G&T. I served them with a choice of fresh mint raita, mango chutney and chilli jam.

Yummy.
