While gathering recipes for our cookbook, we discovered and tested more dishes than we could possibly include. These bonus recipes are straight from the home kitchens of our farm partners: seasonal staples, and heirloom favorites you won’t find anywhere else. For more such recipes, order The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook here!
Samosas are the ultimate travel snack. They’re handheld, contain a delicious carby filling, and the contrast of crunchy outer dough to soft spicy stuffing is so darn satisfying. So much of sourcing spices and doing this job of working with family farms across South Asia involves endless driving. From Ukhrul to Sirarakhong along a dusty ridge top road, from Amreli to Shedubhar with swarms of goats blocking every road, highway truck stop samosas are what kept us going.
