--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       -----CRUST-----
    1/2   c            Water
    1/3   c            Organic safflower oil
  1       pn           Salt
  3       c            Whole wheat flour
                       -----FILLING-----
  1       tb           Sesame oil
  1       bn           Green onion -- finely chopped
  3       md           Carrots -- diced
  1       lb           Fresh spinach
                       -- washed, dried & chopped
  1       pn           Salt
    1/4   ts           Curry powder
  1       tb           Tamari
    1/4   c            Water
  1       tb           Kudzu (Japanese arrowroot)

 Combine water, oil, and salt in a small saucepan and
 bring to a boil. Remove from heat and beat the mixture
 with a whisk until it has a milky appearance. Add to
 flour in a large bowl. Gently knead the dough just
 until mixed well. Form into a ball and let sit for 30
 minutes (or cover and place in a refrigerator until
 needed and then bring to room temperature.) For the
 filling: heat oil in a skillet. Saute onions and
 carrots for 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt and curry
 powder and add chopped spinach. Cover and steam over
 medium heat until spinach wilts and the carrots are
 tender, about 4 minutes. Season with tamari. Dissolve
 kudzu in 1/4 cup water, add to spinach mixture, and
 cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to
 thicken and glaze. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide
 the dough in half and roll out until about 1/8" thick.
 Using a saucer or a small plate as a guide cut the
 dough into 4" circles. Place 2 Tbs. of filling in the
 middle of each circle. Fold over and pinch edge shut.
 Using a fork, poke a few holes in each samosa. Place
 on an oiled cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
 Delicious hot or cold.
