Vegetable Samosas


I love samosas but this was my first time making them. It was surprisingly easy, though I had a hard time finding a method for folding samosas that would work for me (yes, I flunked preschool). Finally I chanced upon the one used in this recipe, and it worked quite well – though I didn't bother making "glue", I just made sure to wet any surface I folded onto any other.

I didn't use the carrot in my recipe, but otherwise I followed the recipe. I was quite happy with the results. Folding them is a lot of work, so I'm not sure I'd make them again, though.
