Samosa

The Recipe for Samosa

Samosa – this is an Asian pies. The most common variety is small triangles of puff pastry stuffed with meat.

Many years ago, during a trip to the Crimea, we tried such pies. They were gentle, extremely tasty, melting in the mouth.

Today we’ve finally baked them. We are overjoyed.

Worth noting – Samosa will be more juicy if the meat will be with layers of fat, and a lot of onions.
