DIRECTIONS:
We will start by making the stuffing for the Samosadillas. For that, take a medium size bowl and mash the potatoes (but not entirely).
Coarsely mash boiled green peas too.
Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
Add in chopped cashew nuts and sauté till they become golden brown.
Add cumin seeds, ginger powder and asafetida and sauté. When cumin seeds starts to crackle add in mashed potatoes and rest of the ingredients except chopped coriander and tortillas.
Give it a good mix and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add chopped coriander. Mix well.
Switch off the heat.
Let this stuffing mix cool down a little bit.
HOW TO MAKE SAMOSADILLA
Take one Tortilla. Place it on a flat surface and spread around 2 tablespoon of stuffing over the tortilla.
Cover it with the other Tortilla. You can add some cheese too before covering it with the other tortilla.
Arrange the prepared Samosadilla on a hot skillet or griddle and cook through until both sides are golden brown. You can use a Sandwich maker also.
Slice in 4 parts each and serve immediately with chutneys or ketchup.
In the same way make all the samosadillas.
