Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Frozen phyllo pastry sheets
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine
Instructions
Boil the potatoes with their skins on until tender. Once cooked, peel and mash them. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and cilantro.
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder.
Add the mashed potatoes, peas, salt, and a quarter cup of water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the chopped cilantro and turn off the heat. Let the filling cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt the vegan butter or margarine and set aside.
On a clean surface, lay a phyllo pastry sheet and cut it into strips about 2 inches wide.
Brush each strip lightly with the melted vegan butter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling at the end of each strip, then fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular shape until you reach the end.
Place the folded samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat with remaining pastry strips and filling.
Brush the tops of the samosas with a little more melted vegan butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
