Hot water might not seem an exciting ingredient, but it can transform cooking and baking Food personality Nadiya Hussain's turmeric-rich samosa pie is made with flour, shortening and water at a boil Image Credit: NYT If there's a quintessential dish from chef Nadiya Hussain - the "Great British Baking Show" winner who has since found huge success - it's probably the samosa pie with the turmeric crust from the very first episode of her solo cooking show "Nadiya's Family Favourites." Meant to be unmolded for maximum impact, the pie stands impossibly tall and doesn't crumble, even when sliced. Hussain likes to wrap the whole golden thing in parchment paper and take it to picnics, passing out fat, perfect wedges to family and friends.
