Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium onion
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 small green chilies
- 0.5 cup coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 10 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water until they are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, ginger, green chilies, and coriander leaves.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds, allowing them to splutter.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent. Add the ginger and green chilies, and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the boiled potatoes and frozen peas to the pan. Sprinkle turmeric, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring the spices are well incorporated. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mixture and toss in the coriander leaves. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a clean work surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry. Lightly brush or spray with a small amount of olive oil. Place another sheet over it and brush again. Cut each layered sheet into three long strips.
Place a spoonful of the potato filling at one end of a strip. Fold one corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular pattern until you reach the end, sealing the edges with a dab of water or more oil if needed.
Repeat with remaining pastry strips and filling.
Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.
