Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 minced green chili
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sheets vegan puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Boil the potatoes until they are fully cooked and tender. Drain and let them cool, then peel and mash them lightly.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds and allow them to sputter.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili. Sauté for about a minute, until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt to the pan. Mix well.
Add the frozen peas to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes until they are heated through.
Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and stir to combine everything evenly. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to make them thinner.
Cut the sheets into equal-sized squares, around 3 inches by 3 inches in size.
Place a teaspoon of the potato mixture in the center of each square and fold over to form triangles. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the prepared samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
