Samosa Tostadas

I'm pretty sure I could eat homemade samosas any day, everyday even! Luckily, I kind of found a way to make that possible. These samosa tostadas are a quick and easy way to get your samosa fix any day of the week! Just top the classic potato and pea veggie samosa mixture on a fried flour tortilla with some sweet and spicy chutneys!

This is a great Indian Mexican fusion dish! It combines the best of both cuisines. The ease of prepping tostadas with all of the flavor of a freshly fried samosa! And yet you're not deep frying anything!! I'm pretty sure these tostadas don't even require a quarter of the oil as regular samosas. (And actually you can save even more oil by air-frying the tortillas!)

How to make Samosa Tostadas

The potato and pea filling comes together in less than 20 minutes! Just make sure you prep all of out ingredients before you begin. All you need is potatoes, peas and onions. Plus a little seasoning and some fresh ginger and green chilies. To really save time in cooking the potato mixture, I recommend cutting the potatoes as small and evenly as possible.

Then all you have to do is fry up some flour tortillas. I highly recommend flour tortillas for these samosa tostadas. The flavor of the flour is more reminiscent of the samosa crust than corn or other grain tortillas.

Toppings!

Just like any samosa, you got have some sweet and spicy chutneys! You can make your own or grab your favorite store bought brands for ease. Have fun with the toppings, here is what I typically use.

• Jalapeno Cilantro Chutney
• Tamarind Chutney
• Chopped onions
• Chopped cilantro
