I didn't use edamame, though. I didn't have any and I did have some frozen peas just chilling out in the freezer. (Get it... chilling out? See, it's funny because...) I also had some mango chutney that I'd bought and needed to use so I didn't make my own. That's okay, though. I think I would have regretted it if I had. Not that I think it would have tasted bad or anything. Just these samosas were a hell of a lot of work. It took me like 3 hours to make them. I was exhausted by the time I put them in the oven.
I did find them utterly delicious. It's a nice alternative to fried samosas. And hey - they heat up rather nicely if you want to eat them for lunch the next day! Just beware of the nuclear potato heat in the center if you microwave them. Cut them in half first or something.
Make these when you have some time on the weekend, definitely not on a work night or when you're pressed for time. They're quite yummy, just time consuming.
Oh man, I love samosas and have been meaning to try this recipe for ages as well. Too bad it takes so long... I barely have enough time to pull together the most basic meals as it is!
ReplyDeleteSamosas!! Hurrah! Can't get enough of them. I didn't even notice that recipe. I'm going to have to find it and make those. They look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThese took me 3 hours too! I thought I was slow, but now I feel better. They are tasty though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm skipping something but my samosas from VWAV took about 2 hours. I really like to freeze them and reheat them. They're better that way, me thinks.
ReplyDeleteWow it looks like the flavor is just bursting out of them! MHHHHHHHHHH!
ReplyDeleteI just made these for the first time last week. I didn't think to get a picture... but, they were delicious.
ReplyDeleteI made these for my grandma's birthday party & the following conversation took place:
ReplyDeleteOld Lady 1: *points to samosas* "What are these things??".
Old Lady 2: "They're some sort of mexican thing. Just eat it, they're good.".
I love samosas and have never made them because I imagine them to be time consuming. With a great review like that, I really should give these a whirl.
ReplyDeleteOoh yum, these look beautiful
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, I've been wanting to try this recipe as well. Every time I see someone's picture, they just look so incredible.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about trying not to neglect the non-new cookbooks. I try to pick one book each week and work from that. It's a bit lazy, but also it helps me slowly make my way through all these vegan cookbooks that I can't stop buying.
yum yum yum. I LOVE samosas- looks like a nice weekend project that I would probably polish off in one meal...sigh.
ReplyDelete*pounce* found you! I'd ask how you've been but I can tell you've been busy maintaining this blog! Nice work, lady. Oh and YUM these look fantastic.
