Chicken mango samosas
Chicken second courses
Indian cuisine
Samosas, like many other savoury patties can be found in most coffee shops in Lisbon, and are eaten mostly mid morning or mid afternoon. In Portugal they are called "Chamuças" - my guess being they were introduced by emigrants from India and Mozambique, where Portugal had colonies. <br />Although my granddaughter is very young she loves spicy food. On weekends, my sister often buys fantastic meat samosas from an Indian lady in Lisbon but I find nothing beats homemade samosas. <br />I make mine with filo pastry because I find it so light but obviously you can make your own samosa pastry. Also I cook mine in the oven but it's a question of choice - some people prefer to fry them; truth be said the fried ones keep crispier for longer. It's really a personal choice. The other great thing about samosas is that they freeze very well, so you always have dinner or an appetizer handy. To freeze, finish the samosas, put on a tray and ffreeze. Then thaw them for 10 minutes at room temperature and cook normally. <br />
