Recipe #1- Simi's Somosas

Hey I know it's been quite a while since I've blogged. But I'm back!

Let me introduce you to the somosa! A somosa is a triangle (may be bite-sized) crispy appetizer (or meal, depending on size) usually filled with vegetables or ground beef mixed with spices. Of course, you can fill it with any other filling (that should be something salty). You have to fry these things. I always think it's a little too unhealthy, so I've created with somosas that shouldn't use that much oil, except for the oil that's already inside the bread part and the little butter you put on the pan.

8 somosas

Ingredients:
- 2 uncooked tortillas
- teaspoon of egg mixed
- 1/2 cup filling
- Small amount of butter

**For the filling, I suggest any kind of vegetable curry. Indian vegetable curry is also very good, and preferred**

STEP 1: Take 1 tortilla. Cut the tortilla evenly into fourths.

STEP 2: Take one piece of the tortilla. Scoop up a teaspoon of filling and plump it on the tortilla.

STEP 3: Fold one corner in. Take your clean finger and stick it in the egg. Then, smother it on the tortilla gently. Fold the next corner in. Put the egg on again. Fold the last corner in.

STEP 4: Get a non-stick pan or get a regular pan and put light butter on it. Put the somosa on it. Cook on medium and until all of it is light brown. This may take 4 minutes. Please turn somosa about every 20 seconds or however many times you think it is better to cook.

STEP 5: Repeat for the next 7 somosas.

Dipping?
If you are interested in dipping, I suggest regular ketchup or plain yogurt. Perhaps some indian raitha or chutney.
