Total time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Serves: 16 (makes 32 Samosas)
Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, finely chopped
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons coriander seed
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large egg whites, beaten, or as needed
- 2 (14.1 ounce) packages double-crust pie crusts, thawed
Method:
- Boil potatoes in a large pot until tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain, mash coarsely, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, coriander seed, curry powder, ginger, salt, turmeric, cumin, allspice, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon until the onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in tomatoes and peas, and pour into the coarsely mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined. Allow the filling to cool completely.
- Cut each pie crust into 8 equal triangles. Spoon the filling onto the wide end of each triangle; fold the corners over the filling to create a triangle-shaped hat. Pinch the dough together to form a seal. Brush beaten egg whites over each samosa and arrange them on baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the samosas are golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
Notes:
Prepare these in advance by skipping the egg brushing step and freezing the uncooked samosas. When you’re ready to indulge, bake them at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
