One pot wonder (instant pot or stovetop)

…. at which word did I have you falling in love with this samosa dish?? This dish really is a win-win for everyone! There are so many reasons to love it… especially because nearly everyone can eat it! Nowadays, there are a lot of dietary preferences, allergies, intolerances, etc that when it comes to a dish to make for a potluck, you’re left scratching your head and wondering what you could possibly make to please everyone!

This samosa stew is the answer! Oh, and don’t worry… with all those “free ofs”… I made sure not to take out the flavour! This dish is bursting with warming spices!

Why This Samosa Stew is a Smart Choice

• The spices: spices are powerful antioxidants and cancer preventing substances! Turmeric has specifically been shown to help prevent colon cancer. Studies have even shown that curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy for colon cancer patients!
• The legumes: both green peas and chickpeas are part of the legume family. Legumes are high in fibre, and are a good source of iron, folate, and potassium. They are also low on the Glycemic Index, making them a good choice for managing diabetes.
• The potatoes: boiled potatoes are one of the most filling foods ever! In fact, they are seven times MORE filling than croissants. Potatoes are also a good source of fibre (keep the peel on!) and have more potassium than bananas.
• The tomatoes: tomatoes contain several different antioxidants. One of which – lycopene – has been shown to reduce the risk of different cancers: pancreatic, prostate, and colon. Tomatoes are also high in the ACE vitamins (A, C, and E).

What to eat with this Samosa Stew

Serve with Naan Bread! Buy pre-packaged or spend a bit of time in the kitchen making this recipe. It’ll be worth it. There’s nothing better than freshly made bread!
