Hey friends,
Today, I’m sharing a recipe that I absolutely love. It’s delicious, easy to make, and budget-friendly.
Here are my vegetable and curry samosas.
So, why is this recipe special to me? Simply because it was the first one I worked on when I started writing my book,
“80 simple and waste-free recipes to make with the family” , published by Hatier Parents. You can find it in bookstores or online…
Writing a book is like climbing a mountain. You stand before the vastness of the task, unsure where to begin, and then comes the spark—the starting point. For me, it was these vegetable and curry samosas.
I can’t say I have a long career as an author (I don’t really like that word, by the way! ?), even though I had already written e-books (“Christmas Treats”, “25 Recipes for Busy Moms”, and “For You, Mom: Casserole & Chocolat’s Sweet Delights”) that you can find in the blog’s shop. But writing a real book—one you can flip through and annotate—is a whole different process.
That’s why this first recipe, these vegetable and curry samosas, holds a special place in my heart. It helped me overcome the fear of the blank page and set me on the right path. And once I reached the top of the mountain, I never forgot that first step…
As always, this is an easy recipe, perfect to make with your kids (they’ll love folding the samosas!), and super tasty. I usually serve them as an appetizer or a starter. This version is vegetarian, but you can get creative with my
beef and coriander samosas or by simply switching up the ingredients based on your cravings or the seasons: chicken, bacon, smoked salmon, cabbage, zucchini… the possibilities are endless!
Essential kitchen tools:
A large non-stick frying pan
A cutting board
A sharp paring knife
A spatula
That’s it… Super simple!
Now, let’s put on our aprons and make some vegetable and curry samosas!
