Samosas are little pastries stuffed with ground meat, chicken (Keema), vegetables or a combination. They are a specialty of roadside vendors in India. Although traditionally made with pastry dough and fried, this low-fat version uses wonton wrappers and bakes them in a hot oven, resulting in a crisp texture. Try them with your favorite dipping sauce if you like. These little cuties would be great for an appetizer at a party since they make so many. You can even make them up and then freeze for up to two months. Bake when you are ready to eat them ( thaw for 15 minutes, first). The recipe says that they make 34, but I made over 40 and still had more filling to go. I used round wonton wrappers, but you can use square as well.
Try these along with Tandoori Chicken or Dal with spiced tomatoes and potatoes for an Indian themed meal.
