Amy’s Kitchen says: We took lightly spiced organic potatoes, peas and tofu and wrapped them in a wheat tortilla and baked it. The result is outrageously delicious.

Heather says: Yes, another Amy's product. Geez. Really? I know. I can't help myself. You tell Lean Cuisine to start working on their vegan product line, and I'm all over it. Truly.

Anyway, about this product. Like nearly all Amy's meals, the back of this item's box has a great little story about how the product came to be. This one details how one of their cooks, "who is of Indian origin but hails from South Africa" came up with the recipe for these samosas. Only instead of using chapatti, their clever chef wrapped the samosa in a (surprise!) wheat tortilla. That's one of my few critiques of the Amy's product line. Whatever unique name they choose to slap on the front of the box, invariably, if it is a wrap-like product, it'll be little more than a fussy burrito.

So, Amy calls this thing an "Indian samosa wrap." I call it a vaguely Indian fusion whole wheat burrito. Semantics, really, but still. Anywho, let's just call it this: tasty. Although it in no way approaches the deep-fried goodness of a real veggie samosa, I would most definitely buy this item again.

Why is it bright green inside?

If I could leave work right now and we weren’t having a holiday party and there wasn’t a ghiradelli chocolate tower or boxes and boxes of cookies right next to my desk or Harry and David hadn’t sent me their signature set and I didn’t have several bottles of wine or holiday beer to wash it down with, I’d go to the grocery and buy this. Really, I would. I’m a samosa addict. Yum! And 6 grams of fat? Totally doable.

I think the term used in South Africa is “colored.”

There is actually a “colored” section of town in Cape Town. It refers to the area where the population of Indian descent has resided for awhile. But it also happens that just about all the houses in that section of town are painted bright colors.

That is my kind of lunch food, but I haven’t seen it at the H.E.B.. I am going to request they order a case.

I would be jealous of this lunch, but today I’m being treated to Tom Ka Gai, Chicken Satay, and a Mango Salad. I second Anna on getting my local store to order these. They look delicious and would probably be over the top with a little chutney on the side.

Central Market South here in Austin has these so I bought some. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for the review.
