We all have those nights where you get home late and you need food QUICK. Enter, these Maya Kaimal Samosa Dal Burritos. Speaking from first hand experience, I can say that hanger is real, and this recipe is here to help prevent that!
Besides from helping to prevent hanger, I’m so excited to share today’s recipe with you for a number of reasons:
- This is the perfect easy dinner. (Again, hanger prevention)
- You get all of the ingredients of a Samosa, but a way easier version because it’s in a burrito.
- I’ve been a HUGE fan of Maya Kaimal and their entire line of sauces / curries ever since I tried them a few years ago. I am the MOST excited to share that I’m going to be bringing you one new recipe a month from July – December featuring their sauces, curries, and new products they’ll be launching this Fall! So expect all the easy dinner recipes headed your way 🙂
Samosa Ingredients
For this recipe, in addition to the traditional potato/pea filling, I added roasted tofu for some extra veggie-friendly protein. You could honestly leave out entirely to make the dinner even easier, or sub ground beef if you wanted a meat option.
Once you have your potatoes cooked I added a little bit of fresh minced ginger for an extra kick. Then, all you need to do is add the frozen peas plus the Maya Kaimal Split Pea Dal which is the tasty and flavorful sauce that holds it all together and makes this dinner so quick and easy to whip together.
If you enjoy this recipe, some of my other favorite easy dinners include this Spicy Tahini Riced Cauliflower or this Tomato Coconut Curry.
This recipe was made in partnership with Maya Kaimal, and all opinions are my own. Thank you for checking out this recipe and I’d love to hear in the comments below if you give it a try (or you want to)!
I am able to do what I love thanks to working with brands that support me, so if you show Maya Kaimal some love to it would mean the world to me 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 pack Maya Kaimal Split Pea Dal
- 1 container firm tofu
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 6-8 small yellow potatoes chopped into ~½ cubes
- 1 tbsp ginger peeled and minced
- ⅔ cup frozen green peas
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/3 cup red onion chopped small
- 1 bag fresh spinach
- 1 pack tortillas GF if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Press your tofu - wrap in paper towels or linen and put something heavy on top for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Once tofu has been pressed, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and add to a large mixing bowl. Coat in olive oil and ~1/2 tsp each salt & pepper and spread in an even layer on the baking tray. Roast at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until it starts to brown.
- To a medium saute pan, add 2 tbsp olive oil and chopped potatoes. Saute for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through. Add minced ginger and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add your pack of @mayakaimal Green Lentil Dal along with frozen peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until peas are cooked and stir in your roasted tofu.
- Time to assemble your burritos! Lay your tortilla on a plate and add fresh spinach. Fill with Maya Kaimal Samosa Dal mixture and top with preferred quantities of chopped cilantro and chopped red onion.
- Fold like a burrito or eat taco style and enjoy!
