CURRIED VEGETABLE EMPANADAS

These pockets full of veggies were out of this world! Why the magazine named them ‘samosas’ is beyond my understanding. The only thing similar to a samosa is the curry paste used with the vegetable mix. Samosas are pocket-like pastry cases dipped in hot oil to cook. I have no idea what this ‘cook’ was thinking when they were making these in the oven.

Empanadas is a Spanish name for a filling wrapped in pastry and baked in the oven…….this was a much more appropriate name for this dish!

Eat it or Starve!?? I was starving…..for more!! :)

2 tablespoons of curry paste

1/4 cup coconut mik

600g mixed vegetables (cubed)
