We just moved and I have no idea which box my Indian cookbook is in, so this recipe was a good find for our samosas this evening. We ended up using two or three times as much coriander as mint - that's the size our "bunches" were - and that was about perfect. I didn't have a lot of ginger on hand, maybe an inch or two. We used one jalapeno pepper and halved the garlic because we are not big fans of the uncooked garlic taste. I also added about 1/3 cup of plain yogurt, mainly to get the blender going. Thank you so much for posting this!
