Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake them on a baking sheet for 45 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool, then peel and mash the flesh until smooth.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the cumin seeds, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Mix in the green peas and cook for another 5 minutes, until the peas are tender. Remove from heat.
Add the mashed sweet potato, fresh chopped cilantro, and lime juice to the skillet. Mix well to combine the filling.
Take a small portion of the mixture, about a tablespoon, and shape it into a small, triangular samosa.
Continue with the remaining filling. Brush each samosa lightly with olive oil.
Place the samosas on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
