The gravy is super delicious. The addition of the green peppers lends it a unique flavor. This is certainly a keeper!

Hi Jennifer,

We love to hear about young people learning how to cook.

Cool whip is different from whipping cream and cannot be used as a substitution for it. You can find heavy whipping cream in the dairy case next to milk, sour cream, etc. Cool whip is non-dairy, already whipped and sweet…it is used for desserts. Heavy whipping cream is in liquid form, unsweetened and can be used for cooking as well as desserts.

Some people use spring roll wrappers or tortillas as the crust for samosas. It is not exactly like samosa crust but it is a good and quick alternative. Spring roll wrappers can be found at Asian grocery stores or sometimes in regular stores in the refrigerated section.

Hi Nazneen,

One thing i do to remove the chicken smell (which i also don’t like!) is that i soak the chicken in some vinegar for a couple of minutes and then rinse it out with water and pat dry.

Give it a try!

Hi Rekha,

You need to use Thickened Cream that we get in Coles or Woolworths and it comes in 300ml or 600ml plastic bottles. Pure Cream is normally used for dessert topping.
