Raw food recipe: Indian Samosa rolls

Raw food recipe: Samosa rolls

As you perhaps already know, we have decided to add another category to our raw food recipes, which is called ‘main courses’, to give you some simple ideas how to combine different raw food dishes into a main lunch course, to show you that your lunch will overshadow any of the food distractions offered to you in outside restaurants or elsewhere.

This is a tasty, easy to make raw food recipe for Samosa rolls. The dough is very pliable, thus easy to put into any form you like (cut for vegetable pockets). I cut it into ribbons, then I spread the filling along the dough, after that I make it into rolls. Today we will fill the dough with a raw zucchini-turmeric sauce – Indian style – which is indeed very similar to the classic Samosa.

If you know that you are going to prepare a dish which will involve a raw dough, like for Samosa rolls, why not prepare dough for the whole week? We usually need 1-2 days to prepare our food for most of the week; it is much more efficient this way.

Please note: We always say this recipe is for two people, but the actual volume of the dough is for six. Why? Because in this way, you’ll do the dehydration process only once, and you’ll have meals prepared in advance for various combinations. For example, use the same dough for bread, and you can eat it the next day as a side dish or afternoon snack.
