SAMOSADILLA (SAMOSA QUESADILLA)

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes. Transfer into a pot of cold water. Stir in salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer over medium heat until cubes are tender but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and set aside.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon kosher salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne in a small bowl for the spice mix.
• Add serrano pepper, garlic, ginger, and the spice mix to the onions. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined, about 2 minutes. Add peas; cook until heated through and slightly tender, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer mixture into a bowl with the potatoes. Add cilantro and lemon juice. Mix with a spatula until filling is well combined, with some potatoes partially mashed. Add more salt if needed.
• Combine cilantro, mint, green onions, serrano pepper, lime juice, and yogurt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with salt.
• Spread a few spoonfuls of the filling over one half of 1 tortilla. Fold in half. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer quesadilla onto your work surface and cut in thirds. Plate and serve at any temperature, alongside the chutney sauce.

SAMOSA CHICKPEA

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas overnight in water.
• The next day, place the soaked peas in fresh water to cover and cook until tender, about 3 hours.
• Place the chickpeas into a blender with a little water and puree.
• Put the pureed chickpeas into a skillet and add all the other ingredients.
• Add 1 cup of water and cook over medium heat until all the water is completely taken up.

CURRIED VEGGIE SAMOSA

Steps:

• DOOUGH:.
• MIx flour and salt.
• Add oil and mix until flour is like corn meal. (I do this in my mixer with the dough hook).
• Add water to dough mixing well. This will be a fairly moist dough. Knead dough 5 to 10 minutes until dough is soft and velvety (or beat in mixer).
• Cover and let stand 15-20 minutes.
• Knead again for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Form into a long 1 1/2" diameter "rope".
• Cut into 1 1/2" slices. Form each slice into small "buns" and place on a floured board, covering with a damp cloth.
• When ready to fill and fry, flatten each piece to about 1/4" and then roll into a circular shape about 1/8" thick.
• FILLING:.
• Boil potatoes and mash.
• Saute diced carrots, minced onion, ginger root and garlic until tender and add to mashed potatoes.
• Add green peas and spices. Add salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to personal taste.
• Place 2 tbsp filling into above dough circle. Moisten edges with water. Fold in half and seal edges well using a fork.
• Store filled samosa's on an oiled cookie sheet and cover with a damp cloth until ready to fry.
• Heat 3 cups vegetable oil over high heat until a small piece of dough drops to bottom of pan and pops back up immediately. Reduce heat to medium high at this point.
• Fry samosa's 3to 5 minutes each, turning once to brown evenly, placing on paper towels until ready to serve.
