Ingredients

• 8 sheets Frozen phyllo pastry sheets
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or margarine

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes with their skins on until tender. Once cooked, peel and mash them. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and cilantro.

Step 3

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder.

Step 6

Add the mashed potatoes, peas, salt, and a quarter cup of water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Mix in the chopped cilantro and turn off the heat. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Melt the vegan butter or margarine and set aside.

Step 10

On a clean surface, lay a phyllo pastry sheet and cut it into strips about 2 inches wide.

Step 11

Brush each strip lightly with the melted vegan butter.

Step 12

Place about 1 tablespoon of filling at the end of each strip, then fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular shape until you reach the end.

Step 13

Place the folded samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 14

Repeat with remaining pastry strips and filling.

Step 15

Brush the tops of the samosas with a little more melted vegan butter.

Step 16

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 17

Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
