Stuffed. Folded. Goodness.

My biggest apprehension about making Samosas from scratch isn’t the fillings as one might imagine. The fillings are as basic as they sound, beef, chicken or vegetable and they all have very complex flavour profiles due to their prep method.

Very specific classic Indian spices are used and it makes it seem as though there is a standard or generic filling. That’s not where my uneasiness lies. It’s in the symmetry of the final product that I always get a bit panicked.

The perfect triangle shape they are delivered in. Arts and crafts is second nature to me so I don’t know why origami and folding Samosas freaks me out. It is an unwarranted fear none the less.

Exercise extra caution!

Unfortunately, petty thieves tend to be more vicious around this time as they also prepare for the festive season. Culturally, many Batswana go home for the holiday, and petty thieves are amongst those who go home. Burglaries, car break-ins, and attacks on unsuspecting pedestrians seem to be on the rise!That is not all, as scammers continue to take money from pensioners as well as other Batswana who may fall prey to their unscrupulous tactics....
