Review:
This recipe was easier than I thought it was going to be. It was delicious!! When I first made it, the recipe called for 2 tsp of salt, but in the end it was too salty, so I cut it in half when I posted this. I think I'll add more curry next time I make, but that's just me.
The hardest part was forming it, but because they were baked I don't think it was that much of a problem. Samosas can also be deep fried.
Enjoy! :)
