Persian Samosas are a popular appetizer in Iran and other parts of the Middle East. They are made with the same principles as Indian samosas, but with a unique twist of flavor and spices. The filling mixture of potatoes, ground turkey, and green peas is a perfect blend of spiciness and flavor that is hard to resist. They are a perfect snack for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Instructions

1.Peel the potatoes and dice them into small cubes. Set them aside.
2.Chop the cilantro, parsley, and onions finely and set them aside.
3.In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it on medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they become slightly brown from all sides.
4.Add the ground turkey to the pan and cook until completely brown. Add the frozen green peas to the pan and mix everything well.
5.Add the chopped cilantro, parsley, onions, garlic cloves, turmeric, dried mint, and cayenne pepper to the pan and mix everything well. Cook for 5 minutes.
6.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the flour tortillas into four equal parts.
7.Take one part and place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the tortilla. Fold one corner over diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal the edges. Keep folding until you reach the end of the tortilla. Repeat with all the remaining tortillas and filling.
8.In a deep pan, heat the canola oil on medium heat. Once it is heated, add the samosas to the pan and fry until crispy and golden brown.
9.Once the samosas are done, take them out of the oil and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
