Stuffed #1: Samosa

I was first introduced to samosas last year when my Indian colleagues produced them during Diwali. Why some variation of them are not a traditional part of American Thanksgiving, I will never know. Imagine mashed potatoes and stuffing inside a deep fried dough. Add the right spices and you basically have samosas. Incorporate shredded turkey and this would be a great way to use those leftovers.

Describing how to fold the samosas for that classic shape is not an easy task. It took several tries to get it right even after watching my colleagues demonstrate. Do not give up! Watch a video and master through practice.

Take-Home Tips: The ingredients are suggestions, feel free to use all, none, or throw darts to select your spice. I highly suggest some kind of chutney or my Summertime Dill Dip as they can be very dry when air fried. Your option to replace all butter with ghee (more traditionally Indian) or vegan oils.

Scoring: 6 of 10. Samosas are not a personal favorite, however they are much better deep fried than air fried. Although healthier in the air fryer, they will need assistance with how dry they become. Be generous with the garam masala for a more authentic touch.

Spices are up to you!
