Indian Samosa Casserole

Last night I had another kitchen adventure. I braved a new recipe — Indian Samosa Casserole from the January 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times. I followed the directions except that I forgot to add the sweetness, it called for agave or sugar. I took it out then forgot to add it. Also, I bought a crust rather than make one from scratch. It turned out really tasty! My Heart's Desire really liked it too. I'm always surprised when I make something new and it turns out well. We both agreed we wouldn't mind if it had a little more kick, so next time I'll add the red pepper flakes the recipe said were optional (I was just out).

I served this with a side of cucumber tomato raita (Fage/cucumbers/tomatoes/garlic salt/lemon juice/dill) that was a nice, cool compliment. I had some of the leftovers for lunch today, it was just as good the second day.
