Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 2 large Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.

Step 4

In a non-stick pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the boiled potatoes and frozen peas. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the mixture from heat. Add lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Mix and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 9

Take one sheet of phyllo dough and place it on a clean surface. Lightly spray with cooking spray and fold it lengthwise to create a long strip.

Step 10

Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture at one end of the strip. Fold the corner of the phyllo strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding in a triangular pattern to the end of the strip. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.

Step 11

Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite chutney.
