Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Peas
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 package Phyllo dough or puff pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted) or oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook until tender but not mushy, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute.
Add the turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to bloom for 1 minute.
Mix in the cooked potatoes, carrots, and peas. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well coated and heated through. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir in the fresh cilantro and adjust seasoning as needed.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking pan.
If using phyllo dough, layer 3–4 sheets in the dish, brushing each with melted butter or oil. Leave enough overhang to cover the filling later. If using puff pastry, roll it out slightly and press it into the dish with some overhang.
Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Top the filling with additional phyllo sheets or puff pastry, tucking in the edges to seal. If using phyllo, layer 3–4 sheets, brushing each with melted butter or oil. Cut decorative slits in puff pastry to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pie with melted butter or oil for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp.
Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegetable Samosa Pie!
