INDIAN SAMOSA CASSEROLE



Indian Samosa Casserole image

This filling in this recipe from Vegetarian Times is very close to that of authentic Indian samosas. I am including the recipe for whole wheat pie crust given in the magazine but I personally would prefer it made with my usual white flour crust or something closer to a real samosa crust.
