Emily was perfect for the L1 chef, she's progressed so much and in my knowledge, Samosas are like Rinku said "Not for the lazy cook". So much preparation, so many spices. Just the spices and seeds themselves are so easy to mess up! If you heat them more than you should, you're going to get a bitter samosa and even 10 seconds are enough to ruin your dish. Emily knows her way around some stuff now and I think she did a pretty good job! They're not fried eggs and canned peaches people, this dish takes time, skill and attention, that in the end pays off with one of the best snacks you can have! Greetings from Mexico!

All 3 looked fantastic, but I'm a sucker for cauliflower, so if I could only have one, I'd go with Rinku's samosas. That spicy red pepper chutney that Dalia made would be hare to pass up on though.

In a traditional Samosa, the potatoes are boiled first, roughly mashed, and then put on the pan for shallow frying. Rinku's cauliflowers went in after the potato - mistake. Cauliflowers have to be fried separately and then added to the potato later. Also, if your samosa crust has too many bubbles, the dough is not tight enough and needs more ghee or oil.

there's a difference -- air fryers are a much newer way of doing things - it's essentially a small oven that goes on your kitchen countertop. The closest things indians had to an oven was a tandoor(clay oven) and you don't make samosas in the tandoor. Hence, to cook & brown them, samosas had to be deep fried. chutneys were originally made with a heavy stone mortar & pestle. It's really mincing/blending/grinding. It's mainly elbow grease which was replaced by an electric motor in the food processor.

I'm not criticizing Dalia at all -- if I had my druthers, I'd much rather have an oil-fried samosa than an air-fried samosa, and despite the difference in flavor and texture, I rarely use a mortar & pestle for anything but the smallest of quantities.
