Comments

When I was in India I used to love to eat these at a Samosa Shack. For some odd reason they would serve this with tomato ketchup. To this day I still love Samosas. I no longer fry my Samosas but I bake them. They are like an Argentine empanada only spicier. By the way I still love to eat these with tomato ketchup.
