Chaat is typically known as “savory snacks” served road-side from food carts or stalls. This is my take on reinventing something traditional for me into something a bit more nontraditional in flavors and ingredients. This is basically my take on a Fried Wet Burrito, shaped like a samosa, of course!
This is a must try, a bit time consuming to make the samosas but if made in advance, they can be frozen so they are ready when you have the urge to have this dish.
Samosas
Ingredients
· Any Uncooked Tortillas
· 1 Can Refried Beans
· ½ Green Bell Pepper, finely chopped
· ½ Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
· 1 Yellow Onion, finely chopped
· 1 Jalapeno, finely chopped (optional)
· 1 ½ Cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
· ½ Cup Enchilada Sauce
· Water and Flour mixed to make a paste to seal samosas
· Vegetable Oil for Deep Frying
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the uncooked tortillas.
To Prepare:
· Cut the uncooked tortillas in half and form into triangle shapes using the flour and water mixture to seal.
· Stuff the Samosa with the bean mixture and close using more flour and water mixture. Make sure all openings are sealed shut otherwise it will open up during the frying process.
· Repeat until all the beans are used up.
· Deep Fry the samosa in hot vegetable oil when ready to eat.
Other Ingredients
· Your favorite Enchilada Sauce, Warmed
· Chopped Red Onions
· Chopped Green Onions
· Sliced Olives
· Sour Cream
· Guacamole
· Shredded cheese
To Assemble:
· Top the fried samosa with your favorite enchilada sauce and sprinkle your desired topping onto the Samosa and sauce.
· Serve with your favorite Mexican Rice!
This really is a good hearty dish. Its very filling and a crowd pleaser. Try this at your next party and make a "bar" out of it and let guests top their own! Whichever way you have it, remember to take some Thyme to Savor...
