Hi Priya,

If you are not confident of making mini samosas at home (It can be time consuming too..), I would suggest you buy the mini cocktail samosas found in Indian stores and just deep fry them and make a mint-corriander chutney to go with them. They are found in Indian stores in packs of 50 each. Won't take much time even if you have to make about 100 such samosas.

I have made vege puffs for our pervious home owners (Americans) and they loved it very very much.

Don't worry too much, they are OK with trying out anything new.

Cheers,
Geetha
