I tried out a new recipe this weekend for the kitchen tea. I had the recipe for years and never made it and thought it would be a great idea to make something new. so i spent all day making the dough which unfortunately i could not by and had to make it from scratch. So i did that and it looked okay. Then i had to make the filling which needed all sorts of things. I needed some cadamon seeds and pistachio nuts, almonds and hazelnuts, then i had to melt some butter and had to put in cocont and sugar. finealy i had to then fill them into the pastry which i cut into squares and fill. Then i had to fry them in hot oil and roll them in icing sugar. They are called sweet samoosas and the final result was pretty good. Everyone enjoyed them and my idea was okay. What a relief.

So i love cooking and i am always cooking for the family and trying out new recipes. Our friends love to come over and share a meal with us especially when I have Indian nights. I love cooking Indian food and once a month we get the friends and family over for a curry night. This weekend we have 20 people coming over for a tea party and i have been doing lot's of cooking the last week. It is going to be fun day as it is a girls day only so we are going to have a great day eating and catching up. Will keep you informed on how the day went.
