I’ve been experimenting with samosa fillings lately. I don’t bake much, so instead of wrapping in dough and frying or baking, i put a flour tortilla sprinkled with shredded cheese on a hot pan and fill that. You can use this filling any way you want.

  • garam masala
  • black onion seeds
  • cumin seeds
  • mustard seeds
  • thai or serrano chilis
  • turmeric
  • salt
  • butter
  • olive oil
  • cilantro
INSTRUCTIONS

    Any fan of samosas is a friend of mine! I have never heard of or imagined beets in samosas. I take samosas to parties fairly often so I might test out the reaction of such a surprising color in the filling! Normally I would never recommend instant mashed potatoes, but if you're doing the traditional samosa pastry, using the dried flakes as the filling base makes this labor-intensive starter a lot faster; just use less liquid when you revivify the spuds.
