Recipe: Chef Sabya's Cocktail Samosas

October 29, 2022 15:00 IST

You don't really need an occasion to have samosas.

But why settle for the classic variety when you can try something more elaborate, with walnuts to boot.

Chef Sabyasachi Gorai's Cocktail Samosas can be had warm with tamarind and coriander chutney.

Chef Sabya told Chef Sanjeev Kapoor that he was inspired by cooking wizards like American chef Charlie Trotter, of the eponymously named Charlie Trotter's in Chicago, MasterChef Australia judge and chef Tetsuya Wakuda, Australian chef Neil Perry and the man behind Quantas catering and Pierre Gagnaire, whose Paris rue Balzac restaurant is famous for its fusion food.

And how did he answer the question about the ingredients that excite him? 'Anything and everything'.
