Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup carrots, diced, frozen
- 1/2 cup sweet peas, frozen
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 1/2 tsp hot curry powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 jalapeno, minced
- 1 fresh lemon’s juice
- 1 spring roll pastry packet (25 pieces) or Goya discs
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Water as needed
Instructions
- First, peel the potatoes and then cut them into cubes. Gently place them in a pot with boiling water and cook the potato until they are tender.
- While the potatoes boil, add the onion, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno to a pan with olive oil. Saute together until caramelized and fragrant, then add in the frozen peas and carrot mix and sauté as well.
- Mash the potatoes once they are tender and season generously with salt & pepper. Place the potato mash in a bowl and add the veggie mix too. Toss in the cilantro and fresh lemon juice along with all the spices. Mix that altogether. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Make the paste by combining flour and water until it is a thick consistency but spreadable.
- Fold the square pastry sheet in half, then fold in one end to create a triangle and add the paste to this. Fold the other end over to create a triangle and flip over. A pocket should be created for the filling. Stuff with 1-2 tbsp of potato filling. Add paste to the ends and fold over to close the samosa. Repeat.
- These can be fried, air-fried, or baked. To fry, add 2 cups of vegetable oil to a pot or enough to cover 4 inches. Let the oil warm up. Add the samosas to the oil. It should sizzle and start to brown in 1-2 minutes. If baking, bake at 375°F until they become crisp and lightly browned.
- The samosas stay fresh if frozen properly. Once assembled, lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray on both sides. Freeze separately on the baking sheet, then store in a ziplock bag until ready to cook.
Notes
- Adjust spice levels according to preference.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough when frying.
- These samosas can be made ahead and frozen for later use.
