When it comes to cooking, it's very important to keep in mind that everyone else started somewhere. I don't know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and all set. There is a good deal of learning which must be carried out in order to become a prolific cook and then there is definitely room for improvement. Not only do you need to begin with the basics when it comes to cooking however you almost need to begin again when learning to cook a brand new cuisine such as Chinese, Indian, Thai, or Indian food.

Which usually means at any given time on your cooking cycle cycles there is quite probably someone somewhere that's worse or better at cooking more than you.

Some cook in order to eat and survive although some cook because they actually enjoy the process of cooking. Some cook during times of emotional upheaval yet many others cookout of sheer boredom. No matter your reason behind cooking or understanding how to cook you need to always begin with the fundamentals.

Still another terrific little bit of information in regards to cooking principles would be to try simpler recipes for some time and then expand your horizons to the more complex recipes which abound. Most recipes are going to have little note about their level of difficulty and you're able to read the recipe to determine whether it really is something you're thinking about preparing or confident you could prepare.

Another one for my Butternut Squash series ;) Samosas are often made with potatoes but I tried it with butternut squash instead! I also find baking samosas instead of frying is much easier and they turn out less oily. There are a lot of spices in here but if you don't have them all, don't worry. It will still taste good if you leave something out or you could even replace with curry powder or something else you like. Makes 8 samosas.

Steps to make to make Baked Butternut Squash Samosas

1. Peel and cut the squash into 1 inch (2-3 cm cubes). Cut the carrot into quarters lengthwise.
2. Steam the carrot and butternut until butternut squash is soft enough to mash, about 10 minutes. The carrot should still be somewhat firm. (You can boil if you want too). If using okra, steam for about 2-3 minutes until bright green.
3. Mash the butternut squash with a fork, leaving some small chunks behind. Cut the carrot into small cubes. If using okra, slice into thin rounds. Peas can stay as is :)
4. Mix spices in a small bowl.
5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Fry garlic until fragrant then add the butternut squash and stir to mix. Add rest of the spices, carrots, peas/okra and sauté for a couple minutes until mixed well. Salt to taste.
6. Set aside filling to cool a little and meanwhile prepare the dough as below.
7. Mix the ingredients for the dough in a bowl, gradually adding the water until the dough comes together. Knead or fold it briefly to form into a smooth, pliable ball.
8. Cut into 4 equal pieces and roll into balls again. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
9. Roll out each dough ball into a small round sheet then cut it in half.
10. Fold the half circle piece in half to form a kind of triangle. Pinch the straight side closed.
11. Cup the folded piece in your hand so it's like a cone with the opening at the top. Stuff some of the filling inside, trying to make sure it also fills the bottom point of the cone.
12. Pinch and old over the open side to seal. You might need to stretch the dough slightly if it's super packed with filling ;)
13. Arrange the 8 samosas on a lined baking sheet...
14. And brush with about 2 tsp of olive oil.
15. Bake at 180C/350F for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
16. Arrange on a big plate and dig in! I like to serve mine with a yogurt sauce simply made by mixing thick yogurt, a bit of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
