Samosas

I have spent the entire morning listening to my son's romantic problems and making samosas.

The samosa dough is so easy to make and the fillings can be made with just about anything resembling a chili or curry. Perhaps the colour would be pumped up a little with tumeric.
Tumeric works well when putting colour into dough or paper. It stains the skin and has fragrance. It helps cure cancer. I love looking at it.

Romantic troubles never inspire me. I feel bad that they are so boring but so all consuming.

Samosa Dough Recipe

1 cup of flour
2 Tablespoons of Oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of water
chopped green onions or parsley

Rub the oil into the flour , salt and herb mixture.
Add the water and knead for a minute.
Cover for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/8 th of an inch.
Use a cappochino cup and cut out circles.
Place mixture into the centre of the circle and fold over.
Press both edges together and crimp pinch or fork press.
Brush with a little oil.
Put them into a 375o oven for 20 -25 minutes.
Take them out when golden brown and enjoy.

Kiss and make-up.
