Christian Bale’s Spiced Veggie Samosas

Christian Bale’s Spiced Veggie Samosas

Filling:

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cooked, mashed potatoes
  • ½ cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • Salt and chili to taste
  • Store-bought pie crust
  • A little water for sealing

Cook the onions and spices in oil, then stir in potatoes and peas. Let cool. Unroll pie dough and cut into 4-5-inch circles. Cut each circle in half. Take one half circle and wet the straight edge with water. Fold into a cone shape, pinching the seam closed. Spoon in the potato-pea filling. Pinch the top to seal fully. Deep fry until golden. Serve with chutney or enjoy solo like a cinematic snack master.

Whether he’s portraying a tortured hero or a sharp-suited villain, Bale brings intensity, nuance, and total dedication to every project.

Helvetica Was Almost Called “Neue Haas Grotesk”

One of the world’s most iconic fonts, Helvetica, was originally named Neue Haas Grotesk when it was developed in Switzerland in 1957. But to make it more marketable globally, its creators renamed it “Helvetica,” derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland. The rest is typographic history. Helvetica became the go-to font for everything from subway signage to corporate branding, prized for its clean, modern feel.

Printing Quiz

When your printer refers to “Padding,” what they really mean is…

A. A binding method that turns a stack of sheets into a tear-off pad
B. That comfy layer between you and your office chair
C. Adding extra words to sound more professional (and definitely not necessary)

Answer: A

In printing, padding refers to applying a flexible adhesive along one edge of a stack of sheets (like notepads or forms) so the pages can be easily torn off. No staples, no coils, just clean, simple tear-and-use convenience.
