I love your videos, please continue to make more. I’m becoming better cook just because of you 😍

[@DimitrasDishes]

That makes me so happy :) Thanks for stopping by today!

[@LindaC616]

@@DimitrasDishes Dimitra, I caught an older video of yours, back in the other house. You're so much more at ease now, you make it look effortless! I made the uraad dal (but with regular lentils). Gonna try it for dinner. Not a fan of cukes and vinegar, but trying to eat healthier. Wish me luck!

Καλησπέρα Δήμητρα. Είναι μια ήσυχη καλοκαιρινή βραδιά κάθομαι στο μπαλκόνι και ψαχνω το κινητό. Και πέφτω πάνω στη συνταγή σου. Μμμμμμ κιμαδοπιτακια.... Ωραία και νόστιμη ιδέα μου έδωσες. Να είσαι καλά σου εύχομαι καλό βράδυ από Ραφήνα.

Πόσο τέλεια!!!!Θα τα φτιάξω σίγουρα, είναι η επόμενη συνταγή που θα κάνω!

[@denisecrane9344]

Absolutely the best pie. So tasty

[@pottersjournal]

So glad for this recipe now, I saw your home-made phyllo dough recipe too. The store-bought always falls apart for me so I've been rolling my own, kind thick. After 15 years a breakthrough and it's now very thin. So exited now to try this filling and checking your videos for others. They are explained so well, short and complete.

[@Stephenrsm7600]

I LOVE these little packages!!!!

It is wonderful and delicious😋

[@taylormotta1081]

They look very delicious I’m gonna try them😋😋🥰

[@dianem7771]

Definitely will be making these, but I'll be substituting the beef for vegan crumbles. Can't wait to eat these. Thank you.

[@DonPandemoniac]

Those look and sound fantastic. Even as a big feta fan I do agree that these pies are probably better without. However, adding that serrano - seeds and all - is something that I see complementing the filling quite nicely.

[@azizarahmatulla773]

Waw looks very nice 👌

[@anno1904]

Oooh nice, will have to give this recipe a try. Love it!

[@DimitrasDishes]

It's so good! Enjoy it :)

In India, these are called "Samosa" and are deep-fried. 😊

TY Sweet Dimitroula mou! I am gonna make these I gotten 3 cans of sweet corn from the pantry where I live. Can I use those?

[@jolenecarney7514]

This comment made me feel so nostalgic for my aunt’s Greek terms of endearment. I am so bummed that my family lost this great culture in my generation. I loved growing up helping out in a Greek kitchen!!! My favorite was forming the kouloudakia and running the hand mixer while my mom slowly poured the eggs into the egglemanou (sp?) (Greek chicken soup) .

[@dcalivas3764]

Kalimera Koukla Mou! What's the difference between kreotopita(kia) and kimadopitakia?

[@behappy2763]

I believe kreatopita uses diced meats and kimadopita uses ground meat. Pita is a large version that’s cut up while pitakia are individual servings like the triangles shown in this recipe.

[@jimkontos4221]

Can I cook them in an air fryer too

[@DimitrasDishes]

Yes, at 380 °F, for about 10 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!!

[@jimkontos4221]

Thanks

[@jolenecarney7514]

My family always pronounced this Titopitakia. Does anyone else’s family say it this way?

[@shaneodowd18]

Food looks delicious bit your knife skills are a concern...ie no use of a guide hsnd...would you consider upgrading these...especially of you are posting online? However, lovely looking and tasting food!

[@Nadusma]

🤔 this is how most of home chefs cutting their onions, my self included! Unless you go the culinary school and I doubt Dimitra ever proclaimed that she’s a culinary instructor 🤨.
