Samosas are one of our favorite appetizers and we always get some when we get indian food. There is just something about these potato and spice and pea filled pockets of goodness that keeps you coming back. We have been wanting to make these for a while and they did not disappoint. They were absolutely delicious and much easier to make than anticipated!
We kind of combined a few ideas from the internet to form this final result. The chutney was also delicious and went with these perfectly!
