Vegetable Samosa

I've been bitten by the samosa bug and have been craving for it lately.

I remember how I used to get it from the farmers market in the lovely city of Fredericton, and how I spent my first summer holidays working in a samosa kitchen wrapping the pastry goodies.

Well that being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that I own the samosa recipes. But I do have a rough idea of what's going on in the dough mixer and the saucepan.

Anyways, since time ain't exactly all that I have, I've decided to curb my cravings by doing a cheat version.

Nope, I did not make my own pastry. Rather, I bought the Chinese spring roll pastry. That's the only part you can cheat. The fillings? Sorry, you've still gotta cook you potatoes and frozen vegetables.

And opting for a healthier option, I chose to bake the samosas rather than deep frying them. So it look rather pale.

And the verdict for this quickie samosa? Nothing beats the original deep fried samosa. This spring roll version is doable, if you aren't picky. But really... Baked spring roll samosa? I guess good old fashion deep fried goodies always taste better.

Oh well.. I will find a day to make the samosa dough from scratch, and share the recipes then.

For now, pardon my humble little "Chinese" samosa.
