Pastel is a typical fast-food in my place, consisting of half-circle or rectangle-shaped thin crust pies with assorted fillings, fried in vegetable oil. It is like a crispy and brownish fried pie.
The filling can be ground meat, shrimp, or mixed vegetables.
I really like this food.
This evening I bought some pastels and a portion of spaghetti as my dinner. I bought the pastel with mixed vegetables filling.
Have you ever tried it?
Is there kind of this food in your place? What is its name in your place?

In South India the dish you are calling it Gujiya is known by the term KAJI KAYA.

The closest thing in the US is chicken pot pie. It has a crust and is filled wih chicken and veggies. We also have pastries called turn-overs that have fruit fillings.

This picture is exactly like our very chilean empanadas. I like them very much. I specially like the cheese ones that I eat while the cheese is still mealed. Others I love are the meat ones, made with a mixture of ground meat and fried onions.

In India, the chicken will be replaced with Potatoes. Hence we call them SAMOSA having Potatoe and Onion filling.

Oh..in India also we got this stuff. So the difference between an American and an Indian. All are one and the same. What do you say about that?

Its looks similar to samosas. I have not had pastel. I have had samosas.In samosas also the filling is mostly vegetables or chicken or mutton.I love samosas very much.
