Aloo Pie

Aloo pie the answer from Trinidad and Tobago to the indian samosa, now the word aloo comes from the hindi language for potato, so if you were to walk up to a vendor and ask for a potato pie or an aloo pie you would not be wrong.

I think that the aloo pie ranks right up there with doubles as being among the most popular of the street foods in T & T. Aloo pie is made from flour, together with various seasonings which have been added to the potato (salt, geera (cumin), shandon beni (cilantro) and is deep fried to a golden brown colour and served with or without channa and the various added chutneys and sauces.
