Can you believe if I tell that you can make tasty samosas in just 15 minutes? Thanks to the mini fillo shells, these bite size samosas are low fat and also very easy to prepare. I have used these shells to make instant baklavas, but the idea of samosa did not occur to me until I saw Red Chillies’ low fat pani puri recipe. Thank you very much RC for another interesting recipe.

Although I have not tasted Baklava, I have always been fascinated by it. I saw an episode of Sandra Lee’s semi home made cooking recently, where she prepared Baklava Roll Ups. I felt that it was easier then the traditional baklava making. I also saw A-kay’s version of baklava. It was the real deal. In general preparing baklava requires some patience. Actually I’m ok with the patience part; I love to do this kind of stuff. Getting some quiet time is difficult for me. With a toddler around, I’m always running behind him or the vice versa. He doesn’t let me do anything. The only time I’m free is when he takes his afternoon nap. So I thought of simplifying even Sandra Lee’s version. Anyhow I bought both the regular phyllo pastry and the phyllo pastry pre baked shells from the grocery store. I thought I will make either her version or mine depending on the time I get.
