This was a delicious accompaniment to the chicken vindaloo we made. The dough didn't really work for some reason. It just didn't roll out well. We ran out of time and just decided to eat the potato and pea mixture as a side dish to the vindaloo and we didn't miss the pastry AT all. It was fabulous. A little jasmine rice, some Major Grey chutney, and some garlic naan! Wow. Thank goodness we didn't add any additional heat as others did. The vindaloo was hot hot hot. Thanks Emeril.

My husband and I like spicy. The flavor is wonderful, but to take it up a notch use Chili Oil and Thai Pepper.
I'd say the prep and cook times are at least 2 hours total.
I used the "Moneybag" Chinese technique to fold the "6 in dia dough, made it a tad quicker, looks just as nice. You can wrap with a cilantro leaf for festive occasions. Also, recommend adding a tsp of Ajman seeds to the dough. I used Canola oil for the deep fry - no real impact. I had trouble keeping fryer at specified level between batches, rec elect fryer for these. :0

Used filo dough instead and baked the samosas. Filling was perfect in flavor and spice and was exactly the way traditional samosas should be.

I think the dough recipee is really off here. It didn't quite have the texture I was expecting. Samosa dough is crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. This dough was crispy and flaky but not the texture or the flavor you would expect for samosa dough. I haven't figured out what exactly is lacking yet. I've seen other recipees call for semolina flour. I need to try that next time.

Wonderful! Just loved the flavors of this samosa. Exactly like the pastry I had while in Jaipur, India.

I liked the simplicity of this recipe and it produced very good results. I did roll the dough thin as I have had the past experiences of thick and hard or pasty samosa dough.

I followed this recipe, but used only a pinch of cayenne and no hot peppers. The filling was very flavorful and quite delicious. Perhaps a little heavy on the ginger and garlic, I might have cut back a little on those.
I did make the pastry and might not have rolled it out well enough because it seemed thick and a little hard and I didn't have enough to go around.
To some of the other reviewers, I would definitely make this again with store-bought dough. And allow myself a lot more time to prep. This ain't no 30 minute recipe my friends.

Just using wanton wrappers instead of making the dough makes it a lot easier but either way this dish is spicy and delicious.
