Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 8 Phyllo dough sheets
- 0.25 cup Melted butter or oil (for brushing)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small cubes. Place them in a large pot, add water to cover, and boil until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes and carrots are boiling, finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir the boiled potatoes, carrots, and frozen peas into the skillet. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture. Add salt and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool completely. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Brush lightly with melted butter or oil. Fold the sheet lengthwise into thirds to create a long rectangle.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling mixture at one end of the folded phyllo strip. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular pattern until the filling is completely enclosed. Brush the outside with more melted butter or oil.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with chutney or yogurt dipping sauce.
