Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 X puff pastry sheets (make sure it's vegan)
- 1.5 tablespoons oil (I used avocado oil)
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
- 1 green chili (skip to avoid extra heat)
- generous pinch of hing (also known as asafoetida)
- 4 medium potatoes (400 grams, boiled)
- 1/4 cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon amchur (also known as dried mango powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoon flour
Instruction
- Thaw puff pastry sheets according to instructions on the package.
- Pre heat oven to 400 F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silione mat. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, fennel seeds and crushed coriander seeds. Saute for few seconds till the seeds sizzle.
- Add green chili, hing and saute for few seconds.
- Add the boiled potatoes and green peas and mix well.
- Now add all the spices- coriander powder, garam masala, amchur and red chili powder. Also add the salt.
- Mash everything well using a potato masher or a fork. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet. Roll it using a rolling pin to form a rectangle.
- Mix some flour with water to form a paste and set it aside- we will use this to seal the samosa.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 large circles - around 5 inches in diameter each. Preserve the remaining dough left after cutting out the circles and roll it again and cut circles till all is used.
- Cut each circle into 2 parts. Now take one half of the circle and apply water-flour paste on the straight side of the circle.
- Fold from one side, as shown in the picture above. Now fold the other side bringing it on top of the first fold to form a cone.
- Fill the cone with the prepared potato stuffing, use around 1-2 teaspoons of the filling and remember to not overfill.
- Pinch to seal the samosa. Use the water-flour paste here as well, that would make sure the samosa wouldn't open in the oven. Prepare all samosas in similar way.
- Place all the prepared samosas on a baking sheet. You should get 18-20 samosas out of the 2 puff pastry sheets.
- Bake at 400 F degrees for 20 minutes or till nice golden brown. Serve puff pastry samosa with chutney of your choice!
