Thanks Hayaad for your kind words.
Salaam. This is good, however when I added chickpeas to the recipe, I could not really taste the spices. I usually use the Somali Samosa recipe. I noticed it has double the amount of spices and includes cardamom. I love that recipe and have used it many times. I love your website and your recipes by the way. 🙂
Salaa, S Ali
Thanks for your feed back.
Please change the spices according to your taste.
Absolutely delicious! I added shredded chicken and used a can of mixed peas and carrots. The spices were on point, thanks!
Great Idea! Thanks for sharing!
