Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 medium Sweet potato
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 small Onion
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and sea salt. Melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil and add it to the flour along with 3 beaten eggs. Mix until the mixture forms a dough. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without crumbling.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, rolling each into a ball. Flatten them gently to form discs, then carefully roll out each disc between sheets of parchment paper to form thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

Peel and dice the sweet potato and carrot into small cubes. Boil in a small pot with water until tender. Add in frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 6

Add cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices and bloom them slightly.

Step 7

Add the cooked vegetables to the skillet and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Season with salt to taste.

Step 8

Remove the mixture from heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and let cool slightly.

Step 9

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle, pinching the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Arrange the samosas on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with melted coconut oil.

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the samosas warm or at room temperature.
