Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil the sweet potato cubes in a pot of water over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until tender, then drain.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper; continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the peas and drained sweet potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the spice mixture. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Gently mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix together the coconut flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the water, lemon juice, and remaining coconut oil. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a round disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each disc. Fold the disc in half and pinch the edges to seal.
Place samosas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the samosas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Aloo Samosas fresh and warm.
