We had some friends from Ty's work over, it was my first time meeting them. I wanted to make something good and have plenty of whole food things to make, but Ty really really wanted samosas. So that's what was on the menu. I also made Red Lentil Curry and heated up some naan from New Seasons that was probably the best store-bought naan I've ever had!
The samosas were good, although after not eating oil with our diet change, they were definitely a little heavy. But as usual, the tamarind dipping sauce that I make for them is really the reason you eat the fried part. Go HERE to see both recipes. I need to use the sauce with other dishes just so I have an excuse to make it!
If you've never tried making samosas, I do think they are a lot of fun to make and serve.
In all, the night was a lot of fun. I'm excited about our new friends! Thanks to grad school for another connection to cool people. I'm looking forward to our next dinner adventure together.
**I did try baking some of these the next day and they turned out awful! I used egg roll wrappers, but a homemade pie dough or puff pastry might work better...if anyone has healthy versions of either of those, send them my way!
Mmmmm. I love samosas! Haven't ever tried making them myself. Thanks for sharing!
