What did I come in here for?

[Brengirl]

I am attempting to make some Samosas for tomorrows party. I have bought them before but felt the need to show off and make them from scratch.

Help! Have made the pastry () and the chicken filling seems a bit dry so any advice?

What did i come in here for is some thing i ask myself 2 or 3 times a day if i am working in the shed and need some thing from the other shed i get in the other shed that is the question i ask my self and have to go back to the first shed work out what i was doing and then bingo of we go again and fetch what is wanted.

Brengirl the mixture needs to be a bit firm to keep it in place to wrap - if you still have probs why not add a bit of lemon juice and worcester sauce (the nearest I can think of for a Tamarind substitute) to slacken it a bit.

Sorry Bren _ saw this earlier but never cook with meat so haven't got any advice and I think lots of peeps have been locked out today due to spamming.

I'd add some tomato puree mixed with water; or just a little water if I needed to moisten up some filling.
