I told you I got these two eggplants, and one of them became eggplant fritters. The other one became mirza ghassemi. Since the eggplant was the size of Rhode Island, that was almost an entire truck-butt of mirza ghassemi, and we couldn’t eat it all.

We also had some cauliflower, so I chopped and boiled some of that and mixed it and a little garam masala powder with the leftover mirza ghassemi. Looked like this which, I’ll admit, looks like somebody already ate it once.

I could have found a recipe for samosa dough but, being basically lazy, I bought a packet of won-ton wrappers instead.

Okay, so I put a bit of the filling onto a won-ton wrapper, dampened the edges, and pressed.

They’re kinda-sorta like samosas, yes?

I heated some olive oil and fried these until brown, turning once. They browned in a few seconds, really.

This is probably not what they’re supposed to be like, but they were DELICIOUS!

We probably had Jasmine rice with it, and maybe peas. Or kale chips. I told you about kale chips, didn’t I? Kale chips are, like, YUM!

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write about an ingenious use of leftover something — food, wood, body parts, whatever.
