Traditionally, samosas are an Indian snack food, but I like to eat vegetarian samosas as an entree, or along with some other vegetarian Indian food sides, such as rice and dal. However you prefer to eat your Indian samosas, be sure to serve them with a dipping sauce and enjoy your traditional Indian food meal! This samosa recipe is vegan as well as vegetarian.

Ingredients:

  • 2 onions, minced
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 pound potatoes, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 10 ounce package frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • dash salt and pepper to taste
  • 9 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
  • olive oil

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, sautee the onions in a bit of oil until they are soft, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the coriander, cumin and cayenne, and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and add the potatoes, peas and cilantro, stirring to mix well. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.

Stack 3 or 4 sheets of phyloo together, and slice into 4 even rectangles with a pair of kitchen shears. Continue with the rest of the phyllo, then cover with plastic wrap.

Place two or three tablespoons of the potato and peas mix in a corner of the dough, then roll the corner towards the center. Fold in the left and right corners, then roll up again.

Place each samos on a baking sheet, and lightly brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

*Note: You do NOT need to pre-cook the potatoes as long as they are chopped into small enough pieces.
