Salams

Samosa dough is much thicker and heavier than phyllo. Phyllo is very very thin and light. It takes several sheets to create differnt things like turn overs, spring rolls ect. It is also more delicate too. Once you open a pkg of phyllo you have to use it right away. Refreezing it wil lmake it more brittle next time you try using it.

Yes phyllo is light and has a buttery flavour.
Commonly used is Greek foods such as spanakopita and pastries.

Since phyllo is thinner, it is harder to use. The sheets often tear when using. Once phyllo is unrolled, you apply each sheet in layers. It has a flaky texture once baked.
However, it is delicious.
