In reply to Olav Riise. I don't cook the filling. It should be cooked through in the oven (as long as you don't wrap super big samosas).

Wow, this looks so good! One question: do you put the meat raw into the dough? You don’t cook the filling in the pan before you put it in the dough and bake it?

In reply to Kalena Likong. Thanks for your kind words Kalena! I grew up in Beijing so the xinjiang food is a part of my culture. On the other hand, I was totally surprised the first time when I have Cantonese food and dim sum, and fell in love immediately! Isn't it so wonderful that China has such diverse cuisines? I'm curious about the food you can get in Hawaii. I've heard many good words about it, and I think some of the Hawaiian dishes assemble with Asian dishes that I know. Hopefully I'll able to travel there in the future :)

Thank you for bringing back my travels on the Silk Road to Xinjiang and eating such great foods like Samsa Kao. Baozi,, Ban mian lagman noodles , Shaozi mian, Kao Rou, Uyghur polo pilaf ne snacking on Matang…. for being from Hawaii and having some Chinese roots from Guandong growing up with Cantonese cuisine or Han cuisine the food on the Silk Road brought an eye opening to the far western food with its Muslim and. Middle eastern an de “Stan” influeces cumin and mutton rule, so different from my pork centric cantonese Siu Yuk and char Siu standards.
Doh Je!

My boys would love those hearty meat pies. I think I would love the ease of using the wrappers and baking them. Both ideas are great. Sharing of course!

I like the taste of the original version with the pastry if you were making them for me, but if I was doing them myself, I’d go the easy way! I love the Uyghar combo of lamb and cumin it’s quite addictive.

I hardly ever take the short cut in cooking but I appreciate being given permission 😉 These look wonderful. I love cooking with lamb and I love samosas so I definitely need to give these a try!

In reply to Prash@YummilyYours. Oh, a vegetarian filling sounds so delicious! The things pumped in my head now are potato and onion. I would like to try them the next time :)
