Tasted my first Samosas at a little shop off Broadway in Winnipeg. I was in the store purchasing some ingredients for Kubba around noon and a fellow came in with a large box of hot, fresh Samosas - I just had to try some! They were delicious! I wanted to make them gluten free so my husband could have them too so I used my Gluten Free Danish dough recipe that I had developed and found filling recipes online that I modified to suit our tastes. Our business sells wooden presses for gluten free perogies and pies so I thought I'd use that to form the Samosas - it worked great!
