SAMOSADILLA (SAMOSA QUESADILLA)



Samosadilla (Samosa Quesadilla) image

While it's true a perfectly made, expertly fried, and quickly served samosa is superior to this version, that can be a very rare combination of events. By comparison, this quesadilla approach is almost impossible to mess up, and if you use enough oil in your pan, you should be able to achieve a beautifully browned, crispy crust that rivals something out of a deep fryer.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 serrano pepper, minced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 cup green peas
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 lemon, juiced
2 small bunches fresh cilantro with stems
⅓ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ cup sliced green onions
1 serrano pepper, sliced
1 limes, juiced, or more to taste
½ cup plain yogurt
salt to taste
6 flour tortillas, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

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.

CHICKPEA, POTATO, AND CABBAGE CURRY



Chickpea, Potato, and Cabbage Curry image

This is one of our favorite Madhur Jaffrey recipes from her wonderful book "From Curries to Kebabs: Recipes From the Indian Spice Trail". We like this with steamed basmati and parathas. My honey likes leftovers cold in his lunch. I use young green cabbage for this, and sometimes if I'm distracted I will use rinsed, canned chickpeas. I have used habanero and scotch bonnet peppers, and also red pepper flakes, it all depends on your personal taste, and what's available at the grocery. The preparation times do not include the chickpea soak/cook time.

Categories     Curries

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried garbanzo beans
1 cup chunked onion
4 garlic cloves
1/4 fresh habaneros or 1/4 fresh scotch bonnet pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon hot curry powder (to taste)
1 teaspoon dry roasted and ground cumin or 1 teaspoon just cumin powder
1 lb potato, peel and cube
1 -2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 1/2 cups cabbage, chunks

Steps:

  • Soak the chickpeas overnight in water to cover. Drain, recover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered until very tender. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Add enough water to the reserved cooking liquid to equal 2 1/2 cups.
  • Put the onion, garlic, peppers and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and process until smooth. You can always add more pepper in the end, but you can't take it away.
  • Heat the oil over a medium high heat. Put in the onion paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low, then cover and continue cooking the paste. for another 2-3 minutes. Stir it frequently just to prevent sticking, and keep it covered between stirs.
  • Add the curry powder and the cumin, stir.
  • Add the chickpeas, potatoes, the lesser amount of salt, and the reserved chickpea cooking liquid.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are done to your tastes, 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Add in the cabbage and an additional 1/2 - 1 cup of hot water. Bring back to a simmer, cover and cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is just softened. Do not over cook the cabbage.
  • Taste and adjust the salt/ peppers to your tastes.

ROASTED CABBAGE CAESAR SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS



Roasted Cabbage Caesar Salad With Chickpeas image

This is not your usual Caesar salad. It forgoes the lettuce for wedges of roasted cabbage and replaces the croutons with roasted chickpeas. The Caesar dressing is a cheater's version, using store-bought mayonnaise instead of fresh egg yolks; roasted garlic adds creamy richness, while briny capers and lemon evoke traditional Caesar flavors. A hot oven and a heated sheet pan are your friends here - start heating as soon as you think about cooking this dish - ensuring that everything cooks quickly and evenly. The cabbage caramelizes on the outside while the interior retains crisp-tenderness, and the chickpeas become warm and creamy with just a bit of crunch. (If you want them crispier, roast for 10 to 15 minutes more.) To make this dish vegan, use plant-based mayonnaise and omit the Parmesan.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, well drained, or 4 cups cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 to 3 tablespoons more
6 garlic cloves (1 peeled and 5 unpeeled)
1 lemon
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 1/2 to 3 pounds green cabbage (about 1 medium head), cut into 8 wedges, core intact so that the wedges stay together (see Tip)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon capers, drained and finely chopped
Parmesan, shaved or grated, for serving
Handful of soft herbs, such as parsley or basil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees, with one rack in the middle and one at the top. Place a sheet pan on the middle rack to heat.
  • In a shallow tray that will fit the chickpeas snugly in a single layer, add the chickpeas and ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil. (A 9-by-13-inch pan works well here.) Grate the peeled clove of garlic into the chickpeas. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 2 to 3 thick strips of rind from the lemon into the chickpeas. Season with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt and a good grind of black pepper, and stir. Place the chickpeas on the top rack of the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  • Place the cabbage wedges on a plate and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, turning them to coat. Season with salt and black pepper. Take the hot sheet pan out of the oven and add the cabbage wedges, cut side down. Add the 5 unpeeled garlic cloves to the tray. Place on the middle rack and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the mayonnaise and capers into a small bowl. Cut the lemon, and squeeze the juice of one half into the bowl, and add 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk to combine. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the tray of cabbage from the oven, flip the cabbage wedges, then return to the oven. Roast for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the cabbage is golden and tender. The chickpeas should be crispy in parts and ready, too.
  • Remove the tray of cabbage from the oven. (Remove the chickpeas from the oven or leave them there for a few more minutes to continue crisping while you finish the dressing.) Carefully remove the skin from the garlic, then smash them with the flat side of a knife until you have a paste. Add the garlic paste to the mayonnaise and capers, and stir. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, if needed.
  • To serve, place two cabbage wedges on a plate. Top with chickpeas and some of the chickpea roasting oil. Top with Caesar dressing, Parmesan and herbs. Squeeze the other lemon half over the top and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your samosa quesadillas. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, potatoes, peas, and onions.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. A good melting cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, will work well. You can also add some crumbled paneer or feta cheese for extra flavor.
  • Be careful not to overfill the quesadillas. Otherwise, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Serve the quesadillas hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tamarind chutney, cilantro chutney, or raita.

Conclusion:

Samosa quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give samosa quesadillas a try. You won't be disappointed!
