Vegan Samosa Quesadillas with Spicy Mango Yogurt Sauce

Who doesn’t love samosas? They’re the highlight of any takeout Indian food experience, especially if they come with a good dipping sauce. I’ve never tried to make samosas at home because deep frying in my own kitchen scares me. However, I have had this idea of samosa mashed potatoes floating around in my mind for awhile now. Today I was moved by a burst of energy and creativity to finally make samosa mashed potatoes… and put them into a quesadilla! Vegan Samosa Quesadillas taste surprisingly authentic. The combination of the crispy tortillas with the spiced potato and pea filling is very reminiscent of the real thing without the deep fried doughy aspect.

Vegan Samosa Quesadillas are a delicious and unique lunch or dinner option that you can make in less than half an hour. Serve along the creamy Spicy Mango Yogurt Sauce or a prepared chutney or hot sauce of your choice. This would be a really easy snack or appetizer for a party as well.  The vegan cheese is totally optional and makes the whole concept even less authentic, but I do like how it cuts the starchiness of the whole thing.

  • Author: Jillian Walmer
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5-10 quesadillas 1x

Ingredients

Scale

for the samosa filling:

  • 1 large russet potato
  • 3/4 cup frozen green peas
  • 1 tbsp oil, optional
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

for the spicy mango yogurt sauce:

  • 2 ripe ataulfo mangos*
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt **
  • the juice of 1/2 a lime
  • 1 tsp maple syrup, optional
  • 1 inch chunk of ginger
  • pinch of chili flakes, to taste***
  • pinch of sea salt

to assemble:

  • 5–10 tortillas, depending on the size (I used Siete brand almond flour tortillas, but regular flour tortillas would be good. corn tortillas might be weird)
  • your favorite vegan cheese- I used Daiya cheddar slices

Instructions

  1. peel and dice 1 large russet potato and place into a large pot with several cups of water. cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until tender. in the last minute of cooking, add the frozen green peas.
  2. meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium in a small frying pan and add the coriander, turmeric, garlic, and onion to toast for a few minutes, until fragrant. add the dijon mustard and plant milk, mix well, and heat until warmed through. set aside.
  3. to make the mango yogurt sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth. set aside.
  4. when the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot or a large bowl. add the spiced plant milk and mash until the potatoes are mostly smooth with some chunks, or however you prefer your mashed potatoes. add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. heat a large skillet to medium and prepare your quesadillas by placing your vegan cheese on half of a tortilla followed by about 1/2 cup of the mashed potatoes (or more if you are using a full-size tortilla). gently fold the tortilla in half and repeat for all remaining tortillas.
  6. carefully place the folded and filled tortillas in the skillet and cover with a lid. cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 more minutes on the other size until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is browned.
  7. serve immediately with spicy mango yogurt sauce. store leftover filling in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • ataulfo are the little “champagne” mangoes. sub 1 1/2 regular mangoes if desired
  • I used homemade thick coconut yogurt, but any kind of plain storebought vegan yogurt would be good
  • I used about 1/2 tsp of gochujang chili flakes and garnished with extra. you could also add sriracha or blend some fresh chili pepper into the sauce if you want.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
