vegan samosas | hot for food

[@taniyagupta3223]

Hey! I am Indian and not trying to rant. Would like to give you guys a small tip. Add the ground spices to vegetables instead of in the oil along with the solid spices, because that may burn the ground spices. Like in this recipe you could have added the ground spices to onion, garlic and ginger mixture instead of before that. This way you will be layering the spices which will bring out more taste. Also, there are some spices which are considered hotter (like red chilli powder, turmeric, cumin, garam masala), these are to be added early in the recipe as they need a longer time to blend in with other flavors. Other spices (like coriander powder, amchur powder) are more on the cooler side and are to be added later in the recipe as they tend to lose their flavor early. P.S. You are an absolute inspiration. I am a vegetarian, and actually considering going vegan cuz of you :)

[@hotforfood]

THANK you for sharing!!!! appreciate it I will try it next time I make them

[@apdj784]

Thank you for the tip. I've repeatedly burnt my spices when cooking curry so I will try it this way.

[@RahulsVeganCooking]

I'm Indian and make samosas and tomato chutney all the time. But I love how you put it in the oven cuz most people just deep fry the samosa. I don't know why I never thought about putting it in the oven, its so much healthier and still has a nice crisp to it. I absolutely loved it! Thanks for your samosa recipe.

[@hotforfood]

So glad it gets your approval!!! AWESOME. Thank you! Hope you like them baked :D

[@donttalktomebye]

my favorite thing is when lauren takes a bite of food and her eyes light up. typically your reactions is what convinces me to try a recipe haha

[@priscillacervantes6174]

donttalktomebye I'm with you!

[@GothicaBeauty]

donttalktomebye yup that’s how you know it’s good.

[@NicksMyName]

These videos make my wednesday mornings before class bearable!

[@atlanticalilly]

You are right, I am not vegan or even a full vegetarian, but you have inspired me to make a lot more vegan food, and to try out the lifestyle. I have not purchased any meat in a long time, but as far as dairy elimination, that's been difficult for me, however I have been able to cut way back. But yes you have inspired me to do that for sure, just so you know :)

[@hotforfood]

that's so great! THanks for letting us know. HAPPY for you :D

[@theschrodingercat9456]

me too i start with the buffalo wings dish and make a lot of her food, and reserch for new recepies and i start eatan at leats 1 vegan meal at day... even my dad is cravig for vegan food

[@ashleyhewitt5258]

I've been binge watching your channel for the past week, just love it! I'm 6 weeks meat free and currently working on eliminating dairy... baby steps. 😳 thanks for so many great ideas!

[@hotforfood]

AWESOME! Congrats to you and happy cooking :D

[@candidlyclaudine1070]

For everyone saying "this is already vegan anyways" WHY DOES THAT FUCKING MATTER? This is a vegan channel and not everything Lauren does has to be a take on a carnivorous meal! She can just make good old fashioned vegan food you know!

[@hotforfood]

hahaaaaa

[@rememberhannah]

Love you guys! Thanks for posting!!!

[@LivingPlantfully]

I've legit seen every single one of these videos and am repeat binge watching again!! I get so inspired! hope to be as amazing and inspiring as hot for food one day!

[@ka8673]

Girl, you make vegan food look fun and appetizing. I'm subscribing!

[@janinahakunamatata5028]

I really like the "behind the camera setting" in the beginning :) The Samosas look like a great weekend movie night treat 😍

[@thedivinehostess]

Yummm. I love love love samosas. Thanks for the recipe!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I loooove samosas! So glad that they have been vegan at most of the Indian places in my area. For sure going to bookmark this recipe for the future.

[@elissaanntorres9123]

This is my absolute favorite recipe you guys have done. I make this every few months, it's so so good!

[@Itz_Blu3]

Is it bad, that I stalk your videos? lol Love you guys! Awesome food! Thanks for bringing great, yummy content and helping me with my transition.

[@hotforfood]

YAaAAY LOVE THAT! Stalk away :D haha Thank you so much!

[@kennahloe11]

Samosas and tamarind sauce is the bomb !

[@happyimperfecthomes]

Hi from India @Hotforfood It's so good to see you guys making something Indian. love love love this video. And I love samosas

[@14thshadowmufc17]

Samosas and chutney! Literally the way to my heart.

[@emmamoore4966]

That Mango Chutney looks insane!!!! can't wait to try it :D

[@TheBabe1690]

perfect for thanks giving !! :)

[@kierstensmokowski9794]

I literally kept refreshing my KZbin feed since like 9am waiting for your uploads. Wednesday is hot for food day!! Woo hoo! Love you guys!

[@2Beigatti]

This recipe is THE BEST! I always have to double it because I eat so much of the filling and chutney before I even get a chance to make samosas. So freakin' delicious! Keep 'em coming Lauren!!!

[@LaquashaPadilla]

I love love love hot for food. I wish you posted more often.

[@Macnastyyyy]

I feel like this is something that I would never make normally... but you made it look sooooo good! Always love you and your content. You are so appreciated!!

[@jamiekim4419]

Sending love from Chicago! Best vegan duo ❤️

[@alexisrose4221]

just so everyone knows, i just made these but without using oil to sauté :) you don't need a "generous" amount of oil. use water or veg broth instead, it works!! so yummy, just made them!!

[@hotforfood]

good to know. I just like oil :D

[@alexisrose4221]

hot for food i bet you do!

[@GothicaBeauty]

Alexis Rose that’s how I’ve started cooking my onions in a splash of water & they don’t burn like they would in oil yet go more sugary & tastier.

[@Wyldyflower]

They look awesome yum

[@minnesotavegangirl5055]

I cannot wait to make these

[@AshwinAshwinRamdas]

samosas are already traditionally vegan

[@infinitycupcake]

Ashwin Ramdas a lot of recipes I see use real butter in the dough.

[@AshwinAshwinRamdas]

Infinity Starr oh, in my parents' household we used oil

[@nexus2037]

Yuss oil and water traditionally , not butter and milk :)

[@SallieAndrea]

Yeah in Kenya we have a lot of Indian influences in the food we eat and we have always eaten samosas and they never have milk or rarely meat

[@queerness8380]

Ashwin Ramdas interesting that people are saying that. People in my family always make samosas with meat, so, not exactly vegan.

[@kaybrown4010]

I'm binge watching your channel! Subbed! Your recipes look AMAZING!

[@hotforfood]

awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH :D

[@MandaPhenom]

I am so pumped to try this. samosas are my favorite! I would love to see a recipe for home made naan bread

[@janicewong7535]

Your videos make me so happy. I'd love to see you tackle other cuisines!

[@JulieVandenKerchove]

They look super delicious!! Love all the spices & the combination of sweet, salty, sour & spicy. A definite winner Lauren! :)

[@simplyshama]

this is more of a cornish pasty. samosas are made from filo pastry making them thin and crispy. but this still looks tasty af!

[@hotforfood]

this is thin and crispy. The samosas I had are NEVER with phyllo! That's more of a european thing

[@simplyshama]

hot for food Interesting. Traditionally it's made from filo, but each to their own :)

[@Lauras_Views]

6:27 :)

[@pinkpotter]

Yea the ones in Indian restaurants are not made from phyllo dough!

[@HarshaP96]

The traditional ones are actually made from a thicker dough like in the video, though we usually use oil and water instead of butter and milk, although filo could be interesting as well, I've never tried it. :)

[@EmanMakeup]

Looks so good! Going to use the filling recipe as a dish with rice. PS your HAIR...😍 What are you using??

[@jenniferwilliams4371]

I'm drooling! Those samosas look amazing!!!!!!

[@ResearcherOnTheRun1]

OMG I just made those for dinner here in Vancouver!! Lauren, these are AMAZING! Thanks for posting and feel truly inspired here with your recipe!

[@kehindeogunseye4137]

I can't even articulate the amount of joy this brings me. Samosas are life. 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍 & i know this version is gonna send me to the afterlife.

[@marisollunafinxo]

I'm so happy right now! I've been craving samosas ever since I ate at this Indian buffet ! Thank you for this recipe!!! (: Have a wonderful day!

[@ananicole174]

I'm a meat eater, but make your recipes! I love the food y'all cook and you guys are my absolute favorite vegans. You are like the least judgmental vegans I know.

[@user-rm3iy4ye2l]

I was anxiously waiting for this since I saw it last week in your video, Lauren!!! ☺😊😁😋

[@nicolekeen6845]

Love love love your channel!!!

[@shestudios]

Awesomeness. Recipe recommendation: Jamaican veggie patties.

[@GhostGemVlogs]

shestudios have you seen the one by the edgy veg? :)

[@shestudios]

No, I haven't seen it. On my way to view it now. Thank you.

[@bonnieleary1197]

shestudios awesome suggestion!

[@dutyfreecritic]

that would be amazing. ugh i love jamaican patties.

[@MrsRoper2015]

traditional samosa or not...these look delicious. My mouth is watering!

[@ReneesHairweaving]

I made these Samosas and it was a hit!

[@hotforfood]

SO GLAD! yaaay!! :D

[@faithhorbatch6671]

You were right about getting in non-vegans' minds! with every video of yours I watch I am more convinced that veganism is a must!! These look amazing and seriously can't wait to try

[@ChristinaLouise44]

Mash those samosas a little bit and add some chickpea curry on top, with a little fresh cucumber and onion and you've got an amazing meal. I get that at the curry place near me all the time 10/10

[@SpiceThymeContinuum]

Usually samosas are vegan anyway but great recipe, flavoring really was on point👌

[@poojadewan8895]

Matthew T. They are made in vegetable oil.

[@varunvirlan]

+Matthew T they're fried in vegetable oil, NOT ghee or butter. They're vegan.

[@niyaz4005]

Kashika Singh no one in my family likes vegetable samosas

[@lakshmianand3501]

Even though definitely fried in vegetable oil, the dough is always made with butter, never with oil...so....not vegan. Lauren's version looks delicious!

[@mollyoxy]

321veg I work in an Indian grocery store. Most samosas are vegan.

[@aleksandraflorczak6184]

the fork part is how we Polish make sure we close the dumplings hehe

[@Macnastyyyy]

You need a vegan sloppy joe recipe!!! :)

[@tdudz23]

Omg I'm so obsessed with your channel!! I have just come across it 😍😍😍😍

[@hotforfood]

thank you thank you thank you!! xo

[@dezi5161]

I usually only comment on the food but I must say, Lauren you look stunning! :) Your makeup and hair are on point!

[@veganfromvenus]

Looks great Lauren, I'm craving greek spanakopita and would love to see your vegan take on it. The English translation is "greek spinach pie" I was thinking your tofu cheese you use in your greek salad and maybe olives..

[@CathyAnnDavies]

That filling looked like a great start to a curry! oooooo yummy!!

[@nanaboo05]

Wow I just made these today and my family and I were so impressed! Really really good thanks again Lauren! Your recipes always make me the topic of convo for whatever event or gathering I make food for! 😀

[@hotforfood]

yaaay! so glad! Thank you :D

[@JustLindsayH]

These look SO good!! I would add a bit of cabbage too but that's just me. I'll be making these for sure!!

[@pv2185]

Lauren!! I am absolutely in looOoOoOove with your vegan butter chick'n recipe, I'm not vegan, I am south Asian, but I hate real butter chicken.. something about curried meat creeps me out but your vegan butter chicken is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten seriously! I made a double batch for four people and it finished the same day!

[@MrFavvideos]

This looks like an amazing recipe!! Can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for the video

[@kimcote8653]

@laurentoyota.. this looks amazing woman!!!!

[@katiehargrove852]

Love your videos and recipes! So inspiring :)

[@brioche8123]

Can we get a fall/cold weather recipe? I'm really craving a beef stew or something really homely. Sorry if this comes off demanding, idk how to word it🙈love you guys

[@namelessenigma]

looks so good

[@lixinxu2614]

I really need some hot for food videos after a long day of class!

[@veganchrys5936]

You know it's a good recipe when Lauren does her classic "I know I've made something awesome but I'm still chewing" face at 6:01

[@sweetsensitivefree]

Still 5.30 pm over here. Watching this and pretty much drooling. Still 2-3 hours before dinner. And most of all I won't find a bunch of these ready waiting for me at home. Great.

[@AphroditeBella]

This looks amaaaaaaaaazong!

[@amandamontgomery7467]

I was just craving these!! You guys should make a vegan winter soup recipe

[@yesterdaysguy]

5:57 the facial expressions are what sold me on this lol

[@AshleyC0787]

That looks so delicious!!!

[@BreaknRemake]

Yum! I have cilantro left over from making your guys' vegan nachos. Now I can make this and use it up! Gotta get some mango

[@toBe8ere]

u should make the butter chicken too! so good!

[@BreaknRemake]

Michelle Miyazato I like where your head's at!

[@marieh.3183]

Awesome! The recipe is awesome! You and John are awesome! A big thumb up 👍

[@sashashae]

LOVE THIS!! I definitely have to try. These look beyond tasty! And that Mango chutney!!! goes off to salivate in a corner somewhere :D

[@hotforfood]

hahhaa don't drown!

[@heejs6100]

"and john is filming an outtake" whoa, so meta

[@TheSaraCallan]

These are so great for lunch if your a student! I make similar ones in big batches, pop 'em in the freezer, and then when I go to school early in the morning I just bring a couple with me, and they'll be defrosted by the time it's lunchbreak!

[@DemiChiLucious]

Yum!! I've cooked a lot of dank vegan food in my life but have always avoided making things with dough as it seemed like so much work. But you guys make it look easy every time. must try soon, thank you!

[@onlyethical]

why you make everything look so easy!! these look amazing guys. and that chutney oh my! have you tried frozen mangos for it at all if not in season?

[@hotforfood]

yup those are frozen.

[@onlyethical]

hot for food thought so! I have some in the freezer. lookout!

[@jazmincontreras109]

I need someone to make these for me! I love samosas!

[@syerra7520]

Lauryn is me when I cook "I'm eating this whole tray. Mhm. I'm not sharing"

[@daej5702]

I hate the sound of people chewing BUT I honestly don't mind how Lauren chews because it shows how good the food is lol

[@hotforfood]

BAAHAA! YES!

[@kckazcoll1]

great recipe and i also like your cool jazz backing track :)

[@mariannechevrier7908]

[@ufufu001]

[@lomset9494]

It's like a Cornish pasty-Indian samosa fusion. Looks epic!

[@hotforfood]

I dont even know what a cornish pasty is haha

[@lomset9494]

Ah what! It is truely a wonderful thing. Sold all over the UK. I may attempt in finding/creating a vegan version. Basically a frick ton of tasty pastry with amazing fillings like spicy veg. (Much like your badass samosas) :D en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty

[@RobinOrzo]

That chutney looks amazing OMG! I would eat that on a friggin shoe! 😂

[@mila.inthewoods]

omg that's such a funny comment!! never heard anyone say that before :'D

[@Titus2Chic]

love samosas! i recently saw a recipe that used puff pastry ... genius!!!

[@soumyasharma832]

Since you guys live in Toronto you should head to Samosa King in Scarborough they have literally the best samosas, they have lines out the door there

[@hotforfood]

a LINE!!! :/

[@soumyasharma832]

its totally worth it you guys its amazingggg plus they have a lot of traditional south asian desserts

[@BanginBrittney]

Oh my gawd I am so freaking excited for this recipe! yayayayayay!

[@zkt8ef]

Looks great! FYI regarding comments- every Indian restaurant I have been to has used butter in samosas :( I have tried your Artichoke Spinach Dip recipe and it was incredible!

[@GabMac16]

Making these now! They smell delicious!

[@jessicagreen3277]

Yup, I'm not vegan but I make your recipies because who doesn't like more fruits, veggies & other amazing alternatives? Especially made in creative & vibrant ways! Keep the amazing content coming! :)) I may be converted after a little while lol

[@НастяШевченко-ь5т]

I'm not vegan , but i like mostly all vegan recipes. .....and this is one of them. definitely will try this recipe.

[@neha16702]

samosas are normally vegan lol but you made your own take on it and that mango chutney looks great

[@sooth15]

They aren't vegan if they're made with butter or ghee.

[@RahulsVeganCooking]

that is true samosas are usually vegan but she used butter and milk which were vegan anyway.

[@Project23TV]

sooth15 Every ghee I've ever used growing up is vegan.

[@sooth15]

Ghee can't be vegan, it's literally clarified butter, which is an animal product.

[@Project23TV]

sooth15 The ghee we used was vegetable ghee.

[@tamaraakinbo1112]

LOOOOOOOOVE SAMOSAS!

[@tinafoxxy2546]

Definitely going to give it a try

[@monimarz]

Can you please make seitan. Thanks!

[@Blurggg]
