Samosas-Quick and Easy Recipe

 I bought wonton wrappers from an american store and filled each of them with spicy potato mixture and deep fried till golden brown. Making Samosas can't be any easier than this.

Makes about 25 samosas

Ingredients:
For filling:
Potatoes-3
Oil-1 tbsp
Jeera-1 tsp
Garlic-2 pods
Salt
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Chilli powder
Kitchen king masala/garam masala powder-3/4 tsp
Peas-a handful
Coriander leaves-a handful

For outer cover:
Store bought wonton wrappers-25

Method:
To make the filling:
Pressure cook the potatoes. Peel the skin and mash well.
Heat oil in a pan. Add jeera. When it crackles, Add chopped garlic and fry for a minute.
Add rest of the ingredients and mix well. Fry for 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be dry.

To assemble:
Thaw the wrappers.
Place some potato filling in the center.
Lightly wet the open edges of the wrapper with a drop of water and fold it into a triangle. Seal well.
Repeat these steps for other wrappers.
Deep fry the samosas till golden brown.
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency:Energy Star

Right now is the time to consider upgrading your home appliances

• Hot Water Boiler (95% AFUE rated Boiler)
• Heat Pump Water Heaters
  
• Domestic Water Heater (change to a tankless model)
• Solar Domestic Water heating
• Wood/Biomass Outdoor Boiler
  

The U.S. Government has never given this much of a credit before!
If you were to upgrade your existing Hot Water Boiler to an Energy Star rated unit you would receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost and labor. Outside Wood Boilers included.($1500.00 Max)
Homeowners installing Solar Panels for domestic water heating will receive a credit for 30% of the cost & labor with no limit.

I believe it is our responsibility to use less energy. Now we have an incentive (tax credits, all-time high fuel costs) to make the changes needed.
