I previously made Samosas as a baked recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/baked-samosas-526835 This time, I decided to cook them in the more traditional way: by frying them. I also took care to try to make them the traditional way, too: by forming a cone with the dough and stuffing it. This...

This is a light, fresh tasting curry side dish. Cooking the cauliflower in water with turmeric adds a subtle flavour and a glorious yellow colour. This idea could be used in other cauliflower dishes too! If you have never used fresh turmeric then you are missing a treat. Do try it if you can...

This is an adaption of the Indian Potato Pie which we found to be OK but lacked spiciness and to some extent flavour for our tastes, so yesterday I made a variation with the addition of many more spices and tomatoes. I also prefer to use whole potatoes and adapt, rather than say a specific...
