Yay! thanks guys... I'll try the Madhur Jaffery one first (got her name on my birthday book list.... still)

Can't think of a better way to use up all those home grown potatoes and peas

Thankyou

Coincimental!
I just made Samosas and they were AWESOME!
Check out my blog link in mah siggy.
Though I had leftover Curry to use up so I used that as the filling instead but I'm making these again with the given recipe on the video 'cos Manjula's Dough was AMAZING so I figure her filling will be too!
