hello ppl... pls help me... i want to try making samosas at home...(indian!!!) but i'm confused with the german ingredients... is maida waht they call here rosenmehl... the one i usually use for pancakes... pls advise...

mehl is affirmative!

seriously though why not go into the indian store...Kohinoor/Punjabi and get the ingredients there and have no confusion

EDIT: I have mehl not rosenmehl!

Rosenmehl is a brand name for normal plain wheat flour. They have different types and strengths, like 405, 550 etc.

Said it before, and I will no doubt say it again, but griessler flour is wicked stuff if you are gonna be rolling something out thin. Its basically really fine, like double sieved, and needs less work to get it all elasticy and stuff.
(ready-made shop-purchased filo is a lazy option that'll work out OK.)

"Maida" is Wiesenmehl Type 405.

Actually they have samosas in the Aldi.Its in the same place where they sell spring rolls.Not very hot but the mini tacos are wicked.Just right for parties and the like.Wife uses Kartoffel Mehl as Corn flour

There's some stuff called Mondamin? Anyone know what that is? Cornflour maybe?

If I remember correctly, Mondamin is actually corn starch, not flour.

Yeah, Mondamin Speisestärke is corn starch. Maismehl is corn flour.

Oktoberfest on the brain, have we? Before anyone tries to ask for this stuff, it's Weizenmehl not Wiesenmehl.
