Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 20 store-bought samosa wrappers or phyllo pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons oil, for brushing
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, peas, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, fresh cilantro, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Take one samosa wrapper or phyllo pastry sheet and cut it in half diagonally to form two triangles.
- Place one tablespoon of the vegetable mixture on the lower side of the triangle. Fold the wrapper over the filling, forming a triangle shape. Continue folding until the entire strip is folded into a triangular pocket. Seal the edges with a little water.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each samosa with oil to get a golden color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the samosas are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the veggie samosas with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
