Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole-wheat pastry flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons ice-cold water, or more as needed
1 ¼ pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon black or yellow mustard seeds
1 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced carrot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup frozen peas
2 teaspoons white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, and salt together in a bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into the flour mixture while stirring until clumps form. Stir cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, into the dough until it holds together; shape into ball, cover with damp towel, and set aside.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes; drain. Transfer drained potatoes to a large bowl and mash until only small chunks remain.
  • Stir mustard seeds, curry powder, ground ginger, cumin, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.
  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, and garlic in the hot oil until carrot is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Move onion mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour seasoning mixture to the skillet and cook until the spices are toasted and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir onion mixture and spice mixture together; add vegetable broth and peas to the skillet and stir.
  • Fold the carrot mixture into the mashed potatoes; add sugar, stir, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the filling into a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; roll out to an 11-inch disc. Place dough atop the pie filling, pressing down on the dough in several spots to remove any pockets of air. Trim excess dough from edges. Crimp edges of dough with your fingers. Cut a large 'X' in the center of the dough to vent steam. Brush milk over the dough.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool pie 5 minutes before serving.

SAMOSA PIE



Samosa Pie image

Hot water pastry crusts - technically made with boiling water - are the secret behind classic savory British pies that bake up unfathomably tall, stand on their own power and don't crumble when sliced. Boiling water creates a silky, sturdy dough that is a breeze to roll and form, and also to flavor. This pie from the British author and television host Nadiya Hussain riffs on the lamb samosas she grew up eating with her Bangladeshi family. Here, Ms. Hussain's turmeric-infused crust turns a brilliant golden brown as the pie bakes.

Categories     pies and tarts, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, finely chopped (1 heaping cup)
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
1 pound ground lamb
1 pound red or gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons cornstarch whisked into 1/4 cup cold water
3/4 cup loosely packed, finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 1/3 cups/325 grams all-purpose flour (see Tip)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/3 cup/65 grams vegetable shortening
1 large egg, beaten, for glazing the top

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, cumin and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, a minute or two. Add the lamb and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking into small pieces, until it is just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and let everything steam, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are just soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Uncover, stir in the peas and cook until just heated through, a minute or two. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, then turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro. Season to taste with salt, and let cool completely before building the pie.
  • When the filling has cooled, arrange an oven rack in the lowest position and heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Make the pastry: Whisk the flour, salt and turmeric in a large heatproof mixing bowl. Create a small well in the center.
  • In a small pot, bring 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/165 grams water and the shortening to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the shortening has melted completely into the boiling water, pour the mixture into the well in the flour. Use a wooden spoon to quickly stir the hot water into the flour, making sure everything gets wet. As soon as it is cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands in the bowl or on a clean work surface until it comes together in a smooth ball.
  • Wrap a third of the dough in plastic wrap and set aside. Roll the remaining dough into an 11-inch circle (about 1/8-inch thick) between two large pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Remove one piece of wrap or paper and flip the pastry into an 8-inch springform pan, centering it and using your hands to gently press it into the bottom and against the sides. The dough should be supple and smooth enough that, if you tear it, you can easily patch any holes. Discard the wrap or paper. Add the filling and use the back of a spoon to press it in and level the surface. There should be a 1/2-inch rim of dough above the filling. Brush it with the beaten egg.
  • Roll the reserved dough into a 9-inch circle (about 1/8-inch thick) between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Remove one piece of wrap or paper and flip the pastry over the filling, centering it and pushing it down so that it fits snugly. The edge of the top crust will overlap the edge of the bottom crust. Press these two edges together gently against the side of the pan. Using a knife, trim the top of the combined edges to create an even border around the pan, then use your fingers to crimp that bit of dough back down into the pie, sealing the edges.
  • Cut a hole in the center of the pie to allow air to escape, brush the top with egg and bake until the top is deep golden brown and firm, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Let cool in the pan on a rack for at least 1 1/2 hours before unmolding and serving.

POTATO AND PEA SAMOSA



Potato and Pea Samosa image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 to 3 dozen samosas

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets
1/2 cup ghee or clarified butter
1/2 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced jalapeno
1 cup fresh peas
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and crushed
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted, crushed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Sugar
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, minced
1 package small square wonton wrappers
1 egg
1 tablespoon water or milk
Frying oil
Tamarind and Date Chutney, recipe follows
14 ounces tamarind pulp
1 pound pitted dates
2 cups sugar, divided
6 cups water, plus 4 cups

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry the baking potatoes. Bake the potatoes in the oven until done, about 45 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then split in half lengthwise to release steam. When cool to the touch, use a fork to mash and fluff the potatoes. Place in a mixing bowl. Discard potato skins.
  • Preheat the deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the ghee. Sweat the onions, garlic, jalapeno, and peas for about 1 minute, or until glossy. Add the ginger, cumin, and coriander. Cook another 20 seconds. Pour over the mashed potato. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and taste to correct seasoning with salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir in cilantro. Allow to cool completely before shaping into samosas.
  • To form the samosas, take a generous tablespoon of the filling and with your hand form a cone shape. Place on top of the wonton wrapper, at an angle. Beat together the egg and water to make an eggwash.
  • Eggwash the edges of the wrapper and proceed to roll wrapper around the filling, making sure that the top flap is folded to secure filling. Repeat process until you have used up all the filling. Deep-fry the samosas until done, golden and crisp. Serve with Tamarind and Date Chutney.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the tamarind pulp, dates, 1 cup sugar, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer. Cook mixture until tamarind paste has dissolved into the water, about 1 hour, stirring every now and then.
  • Pass mixture through a food mill. Discard the pulp. Pass the puree through a chinois or fine strainer. Return the puree to the saucepan. Add the remaining 1 cup sugar and 4 cups water. Stir and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Reduce until thickened. Transfer to a non-reactive container and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Yield: 4 cups

POTATO SAMOSA PHYLLO TRIANGLES



Potato Samosa Phyllo Triangles image

Get the irresistible flavor of samosas without all the frying. Phyllo (left over from Roasted Winter Vegetable Baklava ) makes an ingenious wrapper for our take on the popular Indian snacks, although the filling of garam-masala-spiced potatoes and peas is quite traditional. They bake up light and crisp, ready for a dip in chutney or raita. Serve these samosas with a salad for a vegetarian main course, or make smaller ones as appetizers.

Baked Cheesy Samosa Puffs image

Snacks are a crucial component of every Diwali party, and these baked samosa puffs have crispy pastry encasing a cheesy, potato-stuffed interior.

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb. russet potatoes (about 2 large), scrubbed
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
2 Tbsp. avocado oil or vegetable oil
½ tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. mustard seeds
⅛ tsp. asafetida
1 medium serrano chile or 2 green Thai chiles, finely chopped
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground turmeric
6 oz. cheddar, cut into ¼" cubes
3 Tbsp. coarsely chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. garam masala
1 tsp. sugar
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (two 14-oz. packages or one 17.3-oz. package), thawed
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Peel potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some pea-size pieces remaining.
  • Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafetida, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chile and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in coriander, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and mix until spiced oil is thoroughly incorporated. Return potato mixture to bowl and let cool.
  • Stir cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, and sugar into potato mixture. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into eighteen 2½" squares. Roll out each square to about 4½", then divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Working one at a time, brush edges of pastry with egg. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture onto center of each square. Fold pastry in half by bringing one of the top corners up and over filling and matching it up with the opposite bottom corner to make a triangle. Pinch edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush tops with egg. Chill puffs 15 minutes.
  • Bake puffs until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. (Some cheese may ooze out and that is okay.)
  • Serve puffs with ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce for dipping.

BROCCOLI-AND-POTATO "SAMOSA" PIE



Broccoli-and-Potato

Inspired by Indian samosas, here's an appetizer to feed a crowd and-most importantly-avoid a vat of oil. Store-bought puff pastry crisps up beautifully in the oven, and a mixture of cumin, mustard seeds, and coriander spices up a basic potato and broccoli filling. The pastry is formed into a long rectangular package so there is plenty of surface area for maximum crunch.

1 1/4 teaspoons cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 onion, finely chopped
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from a 2-to- 3-inch piece)
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped serrano or jalapeño pepper (seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (from 1 to 2 cloves)
1/2 cup tightly packed coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 package (14-to-17 ounces) all-butter puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with 2 inches of water in a saucepan; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Add broccoli to pan; return to a boil and cook 1 minute. Drain and coarsely chop.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in oil. Add cumin and mustard seeds and coriander; cook, stirring, until fragrant and mustard seeds begin to pop, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Add onion, ginger, serrano pepper, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and mashing with the back of a fork, until mixture has the texture of very chunky mashed potatoes. Stir in broccoli and cilantro; season with salt. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-by-10-inch rectangle; trim edges. Cut in half crosswise to create two approximately 7-by-10-inch rectangles. Transfer one rectangle to a parchment-lined baking sheet; arrange filling down the center, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush border with egg. Top with second rectangle of dough; press edges to seal. Cut six 2-inch vents in top. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Brush top of pie with egg and bake until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

SAMOSADILLA (SAMOSA QUESADILLA)



Samosadilla (Samosa Quesadilla) image

While it's true a perfectly made, expertly fried, and quickly served samosa is superior to this version, that can be a very rare combination of events. By comparison, this quesadilla approach is almost impossible to mess up, and if you use enough oil in your pan, you should be able to achieve a beautifully browned, crispy crust that rivals something out of a deep fryer.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indian

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 serrano pepper, minced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 cup green peas
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 lemon, juiced
2 small bunches fresh cilantro with stems
⅓ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ cup sliced green onions
1 serrano pepper, sliced
1 limes, juiced, or more to taste
½ cup plain yogurt
salt to taste
6 flour tortillas, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes. Transfer into a pot of cold water. Stir in salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer over medium heat until cubes are tender but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon kosher salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne in a small bowl for the spice mix.
  • Add serrano pepper, garlic, ginger, and the spice mix to the onions. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined, about 2 minutes. Add peas; cook until heated through and slightly tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture into a bowl with the potatoes. Add cilantro and lemon juice. Mix with a spatula until filling is well combined, with some potatoes partially mashed. Add more salt if needed.
  • Combine cilantro, mint, green onions, serrano pepper, lime juice, and yogurt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Spread a few spoonfuls of the filling over one half of 1 tortilla. Fold in half. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer quesadilla onto your work surface and cut in thirds. Plate and serve at any temperature, alongside the chutney sauce.

VEGETABLE SAMOSA PIE



Vegetable Samosa Pie image

I love samosas. This pie gives you all the flavour without the fiddle of making individual samosas. It's great hot or cold too. This is my version of recipe from a Sainsbury's magazine that I've been hoarding since May 2002! I've reduced the amounts of oil and butter and simplified the method of working. The list of ingredients looks long, but that's due to the number of spices in this recipe.

Provided by Mrs B

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

18 ounces new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into small chunks
12 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
hot pepper sauce (a few drops, to taste)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 mild green chili, deseeded and finely chopped
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
5 ounces peas (fresh or frozen)
4 tablespoons fresh coriander, leaf roughly chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 ounces butter
1 (270 g) package phyllo pastry
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
salt (to taste)
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Cook the new potatoes in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, add the sweet potatoes and continue cooking until just tender (about 5 minutes); drain and leave to cool.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until they start to brown; add the cumin seeds, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric and drops of hot pepper sauce; stir well then mix in the garlic, chilies and ginger.
  • Add the peas and water to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes; add the new and sweet potatoes, crushing them slightly as you mix them in; stir in the fresh coriander and lemon juice, check seasoning and add salt if required.
  • Remove pan from the heat, leave to cool slightly then mix in all but 1 tbsp of beaten egg.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5; melt the butter and mix in the remaining 1/2 tbsp of oil; brush a 9inch deep sided loose-bottomed tin with a little of the butter/oil mixture.
  • Reserving enough phyllo pastry to cover the top of the pie when filled, line the bottom and sides of the tin with sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each one with the butter mixture and arranging them at different angles across the base of the tin to create a leak proof shell; spoon in the samosa filling, packing it down evenly; cover the pie with remaining phyllo, sealing over all edges of the phyllo shell.
  • Brush the top of the pie with any remaining butter mixture and beaten egg, sprinkle over the sesame seeds; bake for 40-50 minutes until well browned.
  • Allow the pie to cool slightly in its tin before serving. This is good served with cucumber raita, mango chutney and salad.
