I don't know about most traditional, I certainly did not eat a samosa
until I was 15 years old on a high school trip to Delhi and I grew up in
an extremely traditional, conservative South Indian family :-) :-). That
said, your recipe sounds delicious. I normally use yogurt to replace
some/all of the water while mixing up the dough and bake in a hot oven
for about 20 minutes., turning it once after about 12 minutes.
