Samosas Supreme
Hello again. This time, instead of cake, we will have samosas. Oh, you don't know about samosas? Samosas are these little delicious triangles filled with yummy mixtures inside. The outside is crunchy. You can hear yourself crunch from a mile away!
I will share with you my secret ingredients:
filo pastry sheets
1 cup of green peas
1 large onion
2-3 potatoes
dash of salt
dash of pepper
1 teapoon of tumeric
1 teaspoon of powdered ginger
1 teaspoon garam masala
Here's what to do to make these crunchy creations:
1. Peel potaotes, cut them in cubes & boil for 15 minutes until tender. Put aside.
2. Cut the onions in small cubes.
3. Mix tumeric, ginger, garam masala, salt & pepper in a bowl.
4. Then put onions, peas, potatoes, 2 teaspoons of your spice mixture in a pan with butter.
5. Cook over medium heat until your onions are golden.
6. This is the hard part. Cut filo pastry circle sheet in half so it's a semi-circle. Then fold in the rounded part so it looks like rectangle.
7. Put a spoonful of filling on the filo. Fold over into a triangle shape. Keep repeating this until the end of the sheet. Then slowly tuck the end into the pocket.
8. Repeat #7 with all your samosas until you run out of the scrumptious mixture.
9. Then heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the samosas until crisp and golden.
10. Then serve with delight! And oh don't forget! Before you eat, you & your family should all scream "samosas are supreme!"
PS. You can invent other filling mixtures like meat, spinach, anything you want...but always keep the same spices. Enjoy! I did!

what is curcuma? Is it similar to cumin? If I don't have curcuma, can I use cumin?
