Just tried this last night and was very pleased. I tweaked the spice amounts to my taste and used reduced fat crescent dough. They tasted just like samosas. I served them apple chutney.

Although the filling is very tasty, I didn’t like the crescent wrapping. The overwhelming buttery taste of the dough didn’t seem to match. I used Pillbury brand which had 6 crescents. The package did say “butter flavor” but that’s all the grocers had. My 6 year old loved them though. Will try it again with possibly puff pastry or other plain refrigerated dough.

Not quite instant, not quite patties, but really good, relatively quick, and I decided they fit my diet. They're acceptably edible at room temperature, didn't try them cold. Thenks for the ideas!

I'm giving this 4 stars because my husband said, "Mmmm, good!" As for myself, I thought it was just OK. For one thing, the directions are confusing. How does an 8-count package of rolls produce 6 servings? There is really no indication of how to 'fill each roll and form into patties'. I ended up rolling them out a bit and using one roll piece on the bottom and the other on top, producing four large 'patties'. Oh, and if your filling is hot, you may want to do your forming right on the cookie sheet or you'll have a time getting the prepared patty off of your work surface, as the dough becomes very soft and sticky! I may use this filling again, though. It was tasty in a wrap with some chicken the next day.

This is a great idea! Instead of the spices (which I didn't have), I sauteed some garlic and then added 2 tsp of garam masala spice mix. I also used two teaspoons of canned hot jalapenos instead of the chili peppers. I love samosas, and these tasted almost like the ones I get from the restaurant, and were much cheaper! I used Pillsbury reduced fat croissant dough.

Delicious. Almost like the samosas we get at the Indian restaurant. I used one jalepeno pepper instead of the 2 chile peppers and it was still plenty hot.
