I had a few little friends over recently and we made the most delicious bread rolls which I will post about soon. I found these in my freezer, samosas do freeze quite well and they’re handy to have around. We had these as a tea time snack. These are made with store bought spring roll wrappers folded into triangles and filled. This is my mother’s recipe.
Mom’s samosas

Yum… they look great, I’ll definitely have to try this recipe out!
My mom does not make samosa and neither does my wife Bhavana. I have to settle for frozen.
