Appetizer - Samosa

Main Course - Grilled Octopus

Dessert - Baklava

Method

Appetizer - Samosa

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water, kneading until a soft dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. In a pan, heat a little oil, add cumin seeds, and let them splutter. Add the peas, mashed potatoes, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Let the filling cool.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Samosas

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a circle, cut in half, and form a cone. Fill with the potato-pea mixture and seal the edges with water.

  4. 4

    Fry the Samosas

    In a deep pan, heat oil. Once hot, fry the samosas in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Main Course - Grilled Octopus

  1. 5

    Prepare the Octopus

    Clean the octopus and remove the beak and ink sac. Boil in salted water for 40 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.

  2. 6

    Marinate the Octopus

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Coat the cooled octopus in the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes.

  3. 7

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the octopus for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through. Slice and serve warm.

Dessert - Baklava

  1. 8

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. 9

    Layer the Baklava

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush a baking dish with melted butter. Layer 8 sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and cinnamon. Repeat layering until you run out of ingredients, finishing with phyllo.

  3. 10

    Bake the Baklava

    Cut the baklava into diamond shapes. Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and pour the cooled syrup over it. Let it soak for at least 4 hours before serving.
