Samosas

Jeet made the most wonderful samosas today. These are one of our favorite regional foods and since we have left Atlanta, we do not have the Dekalb Farmers Market to get our samosa fix. We have yet to find good spicy samosas in Boston. I have tried to make them several times without achieving samosa nirvana or even a passable version. Today I very closely watched Jeet make them and even folded a few myself. Chris helped make the sauce. While Jeet doesn't measure much in exact amounts, below is the approximate recipe. It was incredibly simple compared to my previous attempts. Hopefully we can recreate them at home.

Dough:
Flour, water, and salt
Roll out thinly and cut into circles with bowl/cup

Filling:
Boiled potatoes, peeled and mashed
Onions
Salt
Curry powder
Optional peas, raisins, or lentils

Spicy tomato sauce:
Onions, sautéed in olive oil
Tomato sauce
Water with flour for thickening
Chili powder
Salt
