- 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!

This is aloo (potato)paratha in easiest form
Can I make these in advance, freeze them overnight, and then cook them on the frying pan the next day?
Food Wishes
Very nice, I agree this is much easier and maybe healthier than the traditional sambusa, This will be great also with ground beef or chicken intead of the potatoes. Thanks
I am an indian and the chutney is fine but u must add some peanut while you are crushing it in the grinder or toasted split gram to give that thickness
Lil FW new wrapper in the hood
I love the comments section where the Indian followers are like ,"yes i love Mexican food!" And then the Mexican followers are like, "yes i love Indian food!"
Food brings everyone together no matter where you're from. Yummy is yummy.
And then the Flat Earther is like "yes I like global food!"
I've noticed that it's very easy to create crossover recipes between Mexican and Indian styles/ingredients. What kind of Indian food leftovers CAN'T you put into a taco or burrito or enchilada? What Indian spices CAN'T you add to Mexican food?
Food is love and friendship maker. 😊
Fusion food!
You have made a hybrid of Mexican and Indian snaks. It will taste more amazing if you add finely chopped raw red onions (2-3 tbs) to your potato mix for a crunchy feel. - Suggestion from an Indian who is badly in love with Mexican food 😃
Gonna try that. Literally that sounds like an amazing addition
Sayak Roy Apparently, many individuals find cilantro, coriander leaves, to have a soapy taste. I'm trying to come up with an alternative for a family member who simply finds it unbearable, the best I can figure is parsley, with a little basil and mint thrown in. Is this intolerance known at all in India, cilantro is so important. Oddly, coriander seed is no problem for her. Thank you.
and this is the healthier version too. Not deep fried :)
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..
it is a minor genetic defect that is very common among parts of the world. basically they cant taste the complete flavor so their tongues pick up on the bitter parts only@@Rr17user
As a Pakistani who loves "aloo paratha" which is basically the same thing except the potato mixture is spread on chapati and fried, I approve of this amazing recipe. easy and delicious
Indians food is amazing.
Yes, and I've had lots of aloo paratha. Approval coming from a Pakistani make a difference,
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.
". . . some beautiful fresh green peas. . . and by fresh I mean frozen. . ." 😆 I love you!
No matter how bad the rhyme, he makes me laugh every time.
I look forward to it....as bad as it is
I see what you did here.
Stop that rhyming now, I mean it!
@@JakeLovesSteak casey rhyming has bad timing
You rhymed in your comment
This is absolute blasphemy and I am 100% having it for dinner
😂
delicious blasphemy.
lolz
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.
mmmmmm sacrilicious
I am from mumbai......Whole collage life we ate Samosa everyday..............Feels great that now foreigners are teaching rest of the world how to make it............food spreads love
When it comes to adding cumin, chef John’s my favourite human
“And by fresh I mean frozen” 🤣 lol you crack me up. Pure pleasure to watch your vids. Happy new year to you and yours!
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.
made me laugh as well. Just while I was thinking "forget it, I'll take frozen ones" he was uttering that.
As a lazy Indian, I would totally make this!!! 😂
I love when you always say “cool fresh water” as opposed I guess to “warm stagnant water”! Always makes me chuckle.
lol. I think he says this because some people think if they use hot water it will give them a jump start on boiling time, but you don't really want to cook with water from a water heater.
I am 8 1/2 months pregnant and have been craving samosas my entire pregnancy. Thank you for making this so easy!
Next on the India - Mexico flavor exchange we need Carnitas Biryani
thats a fabulous idea
bruh. dum pot birria biryani
That sounds amazing
he should have used empanada dough and deep dried them
Omg yes!
I'm completely plant based and not only do I love your recipes I love your style! I've learned a lot from you, and I just change out ingredients to make it vegan. ❤️
Just made these tonight. Wonderful! My wife said I nailed it, so it must have been good. I added more of each spice. I didn’t have a Serrano pepper so I used some Thai chili paste. Worked well. The mint chutney was great and we used fresh mint from the yard. Thank you Chef John!
That what she said.
What a lovely fusion of Mexican and Indian snacks....
A big thank you to Chef from a person who literally binge on samosas...
When a friend's mom was feeling lazy, she used wonton wrappers for her samosas. They were great.
The lazy way I supposa to make your samosa!
Perfect! I'm going to try that and then air fry them!
@@carlajackson3137 😂 I see what you did there..
Funny enough in India some people use samosa sheets for spring rolls.
One of my coworkers did this for every potluck and I would eat no less than 10 of them every time.
Try using "paratha" or "roti" instead of tortillas. More Indian and they have a parathas have a flaky crispy texture. You can find them in the frozen isle at grocery stores and all you need to do is heat them in a pan.
inspired!
How do you do that? Stuff the paratha before you cook it?
@@dolcerita I personally cook two of them and then sandwich the filling in-between after. Does that answer your question?
MyPointOfView thank you!!
Chef John, I've watched this tutorial so many times, always right before I make these. This meal is such a hit! So unique and flavorful. It's always a hit with family and friends. Thanks for sharing.
Your recipes are always good. But your voice n speaking style are even better.
The best thing are your clear instructions, even for beginners. U remove the dread of cooking; rather, u bring the love of cooking into our hearts.
Cool guy! Thanks.
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.
mmm.. samosa patties
Parathas technically would be to thick and heavy to maintain the shape and hold the stuffing
Mustafiz sweet! Awesome shortcut, now what’s a paratha? Lol
Thanks for this excellent suggestion
Yum!
Even before watching the video, I can say that this is a secret staple in every Indian American household! Awesome video! The only thing, which Chef John mentioned, is that we usually serve it with some pico de gallo alongside the chutney and we love to add cheese to make it feel more like an Indian-TexMex fusion dish. Still, awesome video!
I dated an indian pastry chef when I lived in Dallas. He used to make these for us after drunken party nights. He'd do it in the microwave then assemble everything on his george foreman grill and serve it with yogurt and pico. Hands down best drunk food!
Hot damn, that sounds good, especially if you had both on the same bite.
What a great idea samosadilla! Thank you! Whenever I've made samosa I have never used garam masala which, as an Indian descent, my mom told me is only for meat dishes. 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
"GARam MASSala" - wow he's not Indian enough
"Turmeric - which by the way prevents every disease -" - ok he's definitely Indian enough
@Ilovesuperman i know right, they use it for everything especially arthritis
He's not that Indian. He can't pronounce ***TURmeric***. He said TOOmeric. I've seen lots of PBS chefs and others who also mispronounce it. I was cringing in preparation for it, but at the same time, hoping he'd be different. He wasn't. Chef........ it's TUR, not TOO. TURmeric! Arrgh! Please say it right! Give me some release!
As for the recipe... I use filo for my samosas (and some other packets). Never liked heavy doughs, filo is delicate and crunchy and easy to use.
I told my girlfriend who had done medical volunteer work in India, how hard samosas were to make, and she said "that's why they have servants!"
Mary Sanchez The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (5th ed.) gives both as standard pronunciations.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp @Mary Sanchez really, heavy dough? It isn't a samosa if it's made with filo. Those stuffed filo sheets are something different in India. We call them patties. Both are very different.
@@bobbyhasbun Notice that is an ENGLISH dictionary. When you want the "Proper" pronunciation, always ask the people that invented/created the word.
For my fellow Brits: cilantro = coriander. Because you are the transatlantic creator of your slightly pedantic translator.
davidf2281 inoni i i
I thought coriander had seeds and cilantro didn't.
Diana Forsea You are correct.
English is the language that divides us, and uk. :D
@@SheWhoComesAtNight I've definitely always known them to be interchangeable. Where does this seeds business come from? Is cilantro only a name for the leaf?
I actually made this about 3 years ago...and while you were mixing after adding the potatoes, I was thinking 🤔 that would make an awesome potato salad! And then you said it! Do we have the same brain?!
"like jalapenos but hotter" my dad didnt believe me when i told him that. he just bit directly into one. his exact words were "holy shit!"
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 enjoy listening to his voice, its surprisingly soothing.

Spot on.
The cilantro stems have way more flavor than the leaves! I always leave them in!
Right. The whole stem, it's all about the stem. I just let the leaves, which are almost tasteless, to stay in because for the aesthetics.
I was taught by an Abuela to always use the stems, they prevent the "soapy" taste that some people dislike about Cilantro, and it works! Cilantro is one of my favorites and I always have at least 1 very large pot full in my herb garden. But then I live in San Diego, California, lots of Mexican food in my kitchen/life.
I never watch these all the way through. But I have been watching him... He doesn’t drag it out like so many do. He gets on with it explains it well and I enjoy watching and I enjoyed the recipe
I've made these a bunch of times and every time I'm happy. They are delicious. I'm going to make them again this week! Thanks for your consistently excellent recipes John!
Oooh! Yes! It’s raining in the Bay Area. Prefect recipe while being cozy indoors! 😀❤️ I am making this tomorrow!
Hey wanted to tell you that I followed your shakshuka and chocolate souffle recipe and they turned out very well. Everyone loved it. Love all your recipes. 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.
Yesssssss@Asmita

Asmita Gupta wait so instead of boiling the cubes? Or u mean after boiling? 🥵
@@pascal590 after boiling
I agree, that's what I thought he was going to do.
I just made samosa receipe determining the ingredient list from an indian cook book, used whole wheat quesadillas, brushed them with olive oil and baked them in the oven for 15 minutes. It was good thanks for sharing
I made this and it turned out INCREDIBLE. This is now part of my roster
Love your channel Chef John and all your great Recipes. You are an inspiration. Thanks for all the great meals you have prepared for us. Blessings
I love Chef John!! I’ve made so many of his recipes and he is on point!! And yes, I always enjoy 😋
Oh my word! I could eat nothing but this every day and be happy as a lark! I am hopelessly inept at deep-frying so how great is this pan fry method!
I found this while searching for lunch alternatives and I'm glad I did. This is one of the tastiest dishes I've ever eaten. Thank you for shareing.
Realy Good twist in indian Samosa recipe... great.
Well that doesn't look like a quesadilla
This is actually similar to dishes called keema chapati/naan or aloo parantha. It's eaten in India, Pakistan, East Africa and the Middle East.
Ash this isn’t how any of those dishes are made
@@MomoRawrs123 Not the exact dishes but the concept is the same
Skinny tortilla or fatty chapati, either way, it's all good in the belly!
No that’s actually not called parathas at all.. this is more like a wrap and cooked with cheese to make it look like quesadillas. Not a tortilla somehow stuffed with the potatoes before the tortilla is even cooked
Dear chapati, naan, paratha are all completely different things, texture and taste-wise. Keema is minced mutton.
I was looking to shake up the lunch recipes and decided to give these a try. My husband and I LOVED them! It’s a keeper!
Tried this and loved them. I made a few with tubed crescent-roll dough as an experiment and it was a winner.
This is actually a pretty amazing idea, Chef John! My first experience with Samosas was buying them from an Indian co-worker. Now I can make them at home!
As an Indian, who loves and eat samosa every other day, I approve this
Two-Two-two great meals in one!
Wonderful.
thank you John!
Chef John you're one brilliant man... these are amazing!!!!
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
I am so looking forward to trying these. No frying involved. Love it.
This is so brilliant! I, too, have loved samosas since some Indonesian doctoral students who we hired to watch our children were cooking them. Fascinating. Lotso work, I agree. Sooo tasty.
After all, you are the Adam Levine, of how you make your Mexican/Indian fusion cuisine.
I was going to go with "of how you make the ladies cream... go grease lightning"
Adam Levine
Isn't Quesadilla an American creation?
Then you have to answer who created America?
Dwayne Wladyka he has a douchey attitude and a disturbingly high pitched voice for singing crappy and overhyped pop music? How dare you!
Oh! Thank you, Chef! I can make this with gluten free flour tortillas too. Great help! I am too lazy and careful to deep fry anything for just myself. I can make this when I crave samosas. Love you 😘
Chef John, I tried this recipe today and everyone loved it! Thanks a ton for an easy version of the samosa!
I made these and they were INCREDIBLE!!!
You are my favorite guided meditation channel ✌🏻❤️, thanks Chef John!
Your voice just calms my soul. Thank you.
This is the best food fusion I've come across in a long time
So simple but so genius! And I don’t have to make dough! Great way to still have the flavors. I’m now imagining them with phyllo, too, in app sizes. Thanks so much. To me, you did invent them since I’ve never seen them before today.
Great recipe, almost identical to my family's Samosa filling recipe. We add some raisins and cashews into the mix as well
Yum! Sounds amazingly delicious! Do you usually use yellow, green, or regular purple raisins?
Yum, I've been making my own flour tortillas lately, definitely making a version of these.
What a joy this channel is.
Chef john you are so creative it's like cooking goals
"And I'm not saying you should invite vegetarians to your parties..." Classic Chef John.
best line EVER!
Totally cracked me up! I just love John's dry sense of humor.
I'm a vegetarian lol ☹😆🌱
You can add mind reading to all of Chef John's skills. Literally was thinking "I want to add cheese in mine" and he immediately started talking about it!
How 'bout when something looks super crunchy and you say, "fork don't lie" and immediately he gets out his fork.
I make these in many ways. Love them.
Thank you chef John, Ramadan is next month,definitely making samosadila
You had me at hello...
Yeah. He gets me there every video.
Hello... 😁
🤣🤣🤣❤️
Chef John is my happy place.
How fortunate to happen upon this recipe! I had (almost) all of the ingredients and had some leftover skillet potatoes that I wanted to use in something. My potatoes were a mix of Yukon gold and sweet, but it turned out quite yummy!
Such a great idea, even my mum will be impressed. Also really happy to see cubed potato instead of crushed 👌🏽
Sounds perfect for Ramadan iftar. I'm taking this to the next potluck
Chef John, have you ever heard of Donairs from Halifax, Nova Scotia? Not to be confused with doner kebabs (although they are similar.). I think many of your fans would benefit from learning how to make them. The sauce is made with evaporated milk, vinegar and sugar. No. This is not a joke.
Bill Morash you lie
Okay. What was my lie?
I live on the West Coast and I miss me some good donairs and sweet sauce. Mmmm.
He did a video on gyro last year. Donair, gyro, doner kebab, they're all similar and all delicious. PS even as far west as Calgary Alberta we still call them donair :)
Doners in Nova Scotia!?!?! You mean I don't have to travel TO Germany to get them!!!! N.S is a Long way for a Doner, but I'd walk up there barefoot and to get one!!!! I haven't had one in ten years!
TY. Chef. John. Looks great
I made these yesterday - they tasted awesome and were super simple to make!
“Green smoothie” lol I love chef John
You are the Sammy Sosa, of your quesadilla samosa
Did.. did I do good?
Daniel Bielby you did great. Lol 😊👏🏾
*pats top of head*
Daniel Bielby 👌🏾👌🏾
As long as you say it in a drunk Harry Caray voice
Who's Sammy Sosa?
Love this idea...so many options.
I made this recipe after watching and .....wow! So delicious and very satisfying since my fav take-out is closed during this isolation. Thank you for this quick, easy and yummy samosa-dilla! ☺️
The narrator’s cadence gets me every fkn time 🤣
I’m actually thinking since it’s Lent, I’ll make this on Friday’s!! 😃
Edit (7 hours later😅): I broke down and made this tonight and added ground lamb to it! Oh my gosh! So amazing!!! 🤤
Also, this is my kind of recipe! I didn’t have to look back at it at all or, go buy anything in addition to add to my panty or fridge (except tortillas)! Super easy to remember and super fun and easy to make 😋
Look up recipes for keema, cached comes to mind. Pretty much the this for the filling with minced meat n less potato. Like Indian taco meat.
You sir, have changed my culinary life! Love your recipes, videos, and speech patterns!! ❤️💕💕❤️
Thanks so much for this amazing recipe, I makes for my family today and they loved, I make some of them with tortilla & another with paratha...💜
We are still in PTSD from the last time we tried to make samosas 3 years ago, which we still refer to as the “potato rock” disaster. So we are totally making samosadillas!!!!!
I tell my non indian friends, just got to a Restaurant 😁
Lol 😂
I have made them and they turned out well. But the mess! The only upside to that was that I had enough to freeze and take out later. You can bake rather than deep fry. I consider this a totally legit option
@@judyjohnson9610 People who bake instead of fry...
@@dreamingrightnow1174 Ya, I'm a rebel. I don't even care for a huge helping of deep fried stuff. I'm sure we all have some cooking thing that we would rather skip or pay a little extra for convenience. Mine is deep frying. I also have limited room for gadgets.
You are after all the Pancho* Villa of your Samosadilla.
Edit: Evidently I typo'd :o
Ewokdogg 👌🏽🤣 But it’s Pancho*, though! 😭
Nice one, I say winner!
LOL... really cute!
I love this idea of using tortillas! Thank you Chef John!!!
Wonderfully delicious! I love, love samosas and as you said all the work and mess involved really discourage me to do it. Now with this easy method it's possible to have them any time. Thank you. I love your videos and have tried many of your diverse and practical recipes.
I had a real rough week. So I am very delighted to have some Chef John to lighten my mood. #cayennecando
Hope it gets better for you!
Those look delicious. I would dip them in sour cream too.
Hi Chef. No hack can parallel the joy of painstakingly making and savoring an actual samosa. But I came here to say, this is a delightful, easy peasy and super inventive recipe! Thank you. I love all your content.
You are simply the best John
My grandmother approves of everything except your lack of tamarind chutney.
Please don't tell her I hate the tamarind chutney
You heathen! That's the best part!
Tamarind is the shiznit, Mexicans love the heck out of it too, which is how I first found out about it.
Chef John, I love tamarind. Could you please show how to make something tamarind?
I’ll eat the tamarind but I’m not very fond of it either. Spicy green all the way!
Kabir Singh, I am not a fan of the tamarind either BUT I do l like when it gets a little mix with the spicy green. IDK maybe it cuts down on the sweet of the tamarind
Sounds like an aloo paratha....
Lol yeah!
Deconstructed... ☺
Similar yet different. In aloo paratha the filling is stuffed in before the dough is rolled.
Aaloo parantha (potato stuffed tortilla)...... Basically we eat it in breakfast with yogurt.
Only difference we make fresh dough....fill potato stuffing...roll it...bake it on stove...put butter/oil...serve with sweet yogurt.
Btw...Ur new name for century old recipe is good 😁😂🤣
Omg i love you... im running to the store right away. Why didnt i think of this! Im dutch so in the larger cities, where i live, are a lot of store that sell indonesian, surinam and indian ingredients. I love samosa's never thought about putting the stuffing in a paratha
Excellent idea. Thanks. Now I can do variations of them for my diabetic husband. Make the filling, keep in fridge for resistant starch. Use oats chapatti. The variations are endless. My husband loves his samosas with his drinks on the weekends and could not have them till now. Thanks again.
Made them today!!! Scrumptious!!! I skimped on the dipping sauce -- no mint and yogurt, and it still went well with the samosadilla 😋
You’re hilarious mate... never disappoint with great recipes and jovial commentary
YNWA !!!
Why do I watch these videos while fasting?
I dunno... maybe you're a culinary masochist? You can prep them at night and freeze or refrigerate for later use, so you won't wreck your fast.
To increase ur willpower...I guess!
You're a masochist ?
I 100% do it too. But if anything, it just gives me the idea for the first meal on the refeed.
Finally made these...delicious! Whole family devoured them.
Oh my god! Thank you so much chef john! Love samosas and quesadillas. So excited to try this 😍
