Samosas that I’ve had are usually filled with spiced potato mixture; and they’re sort of round/puffy. We love them, and have had many at workplace potlucks, from our Indian coworkers; and my husband and I have made a ‘cheat’ version of them using wonton wrappers. (The local supermarket now has them sometimes in the Deli.)
The Jamaican Patties are made with a meat mixture, in a flat, turnover shape.

For Indian food lovers, go to an Indian convenience store (two in my neighborhood) and get DEEP (the brand name) frozen naan when making Indian food. It’s so much better than the stuff sold at the deli counters in supermarkets or in the bread aisles. I don’t know why it’s so much better but it is. They are triangle-shaped and make a very good basis for a quickie pizza.
