Samosas are a popular Indian snack that is enjoyed all over the world. Traditionally, samosas are made with a thin layer of dough and filled with spicy potato or meat mixture. They are deep-fried until golden brown and crispy, and served with chutney or yogurt. Baked Puff Pastry Samosas are a healthier twist on the traditional dish. Instead of using a thin layer of dough, they are made with buttery and flaky puff pastry. The filling is made with potatoes, peas, onion, garlic, and ginger, which are cooked in a blend of spices to create a flavorful mixture. The samosas are then baked until crispy and golden brown, which reduces the amount of fat and calories in the dish. These samosas are perfect for a party or as a tea-time snack.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes.
3.Heat some oil or ghee in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, peas, onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.Add the garam masala, turmeric, and cumin, and stir well.
5.Add a splash of water, cover the pan, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are soft and fully cooked.
6.Cut the puff pastry sheets into small squares.
7.Spoon a tablespoon of the potato mixture onto each square and fold it into a triangular shape.
8.Use a fork to press down the edges of each samosa and to create a pattern along the edges.
9.Brush the samosas with some melted butter or ghee.
10.Place the samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
11.Serve hot with some mint chutney or tamarind chutney on the side.
