.Samosadilla:

  • Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place one tortilla in the pan, and let it warm for about 20 seconds. Top one half of the tortilla with samosa mixture and two tablespoons mozzarella.
  • Fold over the empty side of the tortilla to cover the filling. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy on both sides.
  • Brush the tortilla with a little oil if you like.
  • Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  • Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and cut into 3 portions.
  • Serve with chutney and ketchup (tomato sauce).

Notes

  • If dried mango powder (amchur) is not easily available, substitute with lemon juice
  • I used frozen green peas in this recipe. With dried or fresh green peas, you’ll need to cook them separately before you add to the samosa mixture.
  • You can add avocados to your quesadillas if you like
