Some of my favorite things to order whenever I go out for Indian food are samosas served with chutney. Rather than dine out whenever I’m craving them, I decided to give ‘em a try on my own, and although they’re a little technical, they’re exotically delicious! So for the perfect snack or appetizer, try these vegetable samosas! They’re baked instead of fried, so they’re low in calories, but they still retain their delectable, crispy texture. And when they’re served with a mint chutney, they’re ridiculously addicting!
