Vegetarian Indian Samosas:

 

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

* 10-ounce packet frozen peas, thawed and drained

* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

* Dash of salt and pepper to taste

* 9 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed

* Olive oil

 

Method of 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 six to eight 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 three or four sheets of phyllo together, and slice into

four 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 centre. Fold in

the left and right corners, then roll up again.

* Place each samosa 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.
