Ingredients
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup oil
- 2 small onions, finely chopped
- 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
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 4 prepared pie crusts
- 2 egg whites, beaten, or as needed
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging potatoes in a substantial container filled with salted water; heat until boiling point, then lower the temperature to a moderate level and let simmer for 20 minutes or so. Remove from heat and transfer the potatoes to a spacious container; mash them roughly, then put aside for now.
2
Next, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
3
In a large, deep pan, heat some oil over a moderately high temperature; cook and stir the onions, coriander seeds, curry powder, ginger, salt, turmeric, cumin, allspice, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon in the hot oil until the onion is lightly browned, taking around 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in tomatoes and peas; let it cool down a bit.
4
Now, mix this mixture thoroughly with the coarsely mashed potatoes that you set aside earlier. Make sure everything is well combined before putting it away for a while.
5
Take the pie crust and cut each one into 8 equal parts. Spoon the filling onto the wide end of each triangle; fold the corners over the filling to create a triangle-shaped hat. Press the dough together firmly to form a seal; brush some beaten egg whites over each samosa for extra protection. Arrange them neatly on baking sheets.
6
Finally, bake the samosas in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, taking around 15 minutes or so.
