  • Learn how to make a “Samosadilla,” aka Samosa Quesadilla! I love samosas, but I don’t necessarily love all the work and mess involved with assembling and deep-frying them. That’s not an issue here, thanks to some good old-fashion quesadilla technology. Visit foodwishes.blogspot.com/2019/... for the ingredients, more information, and many, many more video recipes. I really hope you enjoy this easy Samosa Quesadilla recipe!

      There is much common cuisine between Pakistan and India.
      Also I find it really fascinating how much Samosas traveled all the way from Central Asia, Iran, Persia, all the way to India and then went even further to Bangladesh and more.
      Then there is Pulao , another amazing dish from Central Asia.
      I only feel a bit disappointed that meaty samosas didn't become as mainstream as the potato filling.

Is this intolerance known at all in India, cilantro is so important. Oddly, coriander seed is no problem for her. Thank you.

      Christine King Boggy Bunny Coming from an Indian. - there are two sets of herbs very important and integral to Indian cuisine - cilantro and curry leaves (one or the other may be traditionally used depending on the type of dish) and we absolutely LOVE cilantro! These herbs give the completing touch to any Indian spicy/savory dish..I honestly cannot wrap my head around how one might find it soapy, but then it must be an acquired thing as you are used to it since childhood.. I imagine it must be something similar to when I tried sage leaves and absolutely hated them, but then I evolved and came to love it! Agreed, coriander seeds are an entirely different taste/flavor and it makes for a wonderful addition to any dish..

      Add raw sliced onions on the potato masala and you'll love the crunch. We Indians make samosa sandwiches too. Apply coriander chutney on one side, sweet-sour tamarind sauce on the other, crush a fresh crunchy samosa and keep it on one of the bread slice, add sliced onions or any other raw or pickled vegetable you like and your samosa sandwich/ burger is done.

      Asra Q. • Actually, unless you shop at the Farmer’s Market, frozen is fresher than grocery store produce which was picked weeks earlier, and shipped to a regional warehouse, so that it can be shipped to individual stores, and sit on a shelf for up to a week without rotting. Frozen foods are picked at the height of freshness, and processed within 1 to 2 days.

    Instead of the tortilla, you can use thawed frozen parathas, either whole or halved, fill them, egg wash the half moon or the triangle (depending upon whether you halved the paratha or not), crimp the edges with a fork, and then bake them in the oven at 200 degrees celsius for 15-20 mins.

She said "every spice is unique and brings out the flavor of certain foods better than the other so don't user all spices in every food".
    I like crunch in samosa so if I were to make your samosadilla here what the changes I would do to the filling: boil whole potato then peel and mash roughly ( I will not put any butter or oil in the filling nor saute anything), add lots of sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, some roasted whole coriander seeds and cumin seeds, pomegranate seeds, sliced jalapeno, lemon juice, salt, turmeric and red chillies. Finally mix them together and follow your method to fill and cook

    But boy, that chutney! For me at least, the ratio of lime juice to the other ingredients was too much for me despite the fact I love limes and lime juice. As I'd run out of yogurt to keep adding to smooth it out, I started adding sour cream. It helped - but I really had to jack up the chutney with lots of sour cream.
    Maybe I got the world's sourest lime of all time, but I have to address that.

    TL;DR Below: Thanks for making 50% of my heart’s food wish seem less of a challenge than it is. The other half is Biriyani, would you please give your tips in simplifying that?
    Hi Chef John, thanks for inspiring me and transforming this cook-o-phobic into a try-any-cuisine type of experimenter in the kitchen. As an Indian guy myself, I have always had the dream of making two things - but always got demotivated by the complexity of them: Samosa and Biriyani.
    You just covered 50% if it and made my heart full. Thank you so much for showing me the way to hack my favorite snack.
    Can I submit Biriyani (any of the multiple kind) as my food wish?
    An avid fan and disciple,
    Deep

    Dear Chef John,
    I have tried several of your recipes and each one has been successful. No need to adjust seasoning - the recipes are perfect as written. THANK YOU. I follow several food bloggers and sites, and I have come to the conclusion that you have to find one that has a similar palate to your own. For example, America’s Test Kitchen/Cooks’s Country - for me - is ok for learning techniques, but their recipes tend to be bland/soulless (again, YMMV). But I have liked every recipe of yours that I have made and am so happy the YT algorithm pointed me your way. I look forward to digging through your many years of recipes!

      The best thing about Serranos - and why I use them instead of Jalapeños - is that while they are hotter, they are also much more consistent. You know how some Jalapeños can be really hot, while others have almost no heat? You don't get that with Serranos, so you can use a consistent amount in each recipe.

I am a vegetarian, still see your non veg recipes too to get ideas and exchange the non vegetarian options with vegetarian ones. Btw there's a small tip that I would like to share for this recipe, I am Indian, I know samosas very well, if you add potatoes into the pan then they'll get a little bit browned and that browning gives you more and different kind of taste.

    Hello chef John, fan from India here. Two quick pointers.
    1. Add some mustard seeds to the oil before the onions and wait for them to start sputtering, then proceed.
    2. Add a few tbs of water after adding the spices and cook them for a few mins till you see the oil start to separate. This will remove the powder taste and cook the spices much better.
    Please let me know what you think.

    Love the recipe chef, could I make a humble suggestion? Samosas sometimes use whole spices which can take them to a whole other level. I'd suggest some whole cumin seeds in place of half the power, with the additional of nigella seeds for a pop of flavour and yellow mustard seeds for a little crunch! Been a long time subscriber and you have inspired me so much, so thank you for all that you do!

    • @blingbling2841
      @blingbling2841 ปีที่แล้ว

      Too many seeds and whole spice grains can get stuck between the teeth sometimes.
      And crushed ground spices really bring out all the aromas that can permeate the filling much better with a smaller portion.
      It would also avoid overpowering one spice too much.
