Potato and Pea Samosas are popular in India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. They are triangular-shaped pastries filled with potatoes, peas, and aromatic Indian spices. This recipe gives a vegan twist to the traditional samosas, where phyllo pastry is used instead of the typical wheat-flour dough and the filling is vegan-friendly without compromising the taste and texture. They are a perfect appetizer for any occasion, especially if you are looking to add a touch of spice and flavor to your party menu.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.Boil the diced potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.
3.In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
4.Add the boiled potatoes, frozen peas, and all spices. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
5.Lay out one sheet of the phyllo pastry and brush it with melted butter. Place another sheet of pastry on top and repeat until you have a stack of 4 sheets.
6.Cut the layered pastry into 4 equal-sized rectangles.
7.Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the potato and pea mixture onto one end of each rectangle.
8.Fold the end with the mixture over diagonally and continue folding until the pastry is completely wrapped around the filling in a triangular shape.
9.Repeat with the remaining pastry and fillings.
10.Heat oil in a deep-frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the samosas in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11.Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
