Ingredients

• 250 grams Plant-based lamb alternative
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 1 medium Potato, boiled and cubed
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 sheets Vegan puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 500 ml Cooking oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric powder. Cook the spices for 1 minute to release their aromas.

Step 4

Crumble the plant-based lamb alternative into the pan, mixing well with the spice blend. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add chopped cilantro, frozen peas, cubed potato, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 6

Roll out the vegan puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into squares or rectangles, depending on the desired size of the samosas.

Step 7

Mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 tablespoons of water to form a paste. Use this paste to coat the edges of the pastry squares.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry square, fold over to form a triangle or rectangle, and press the edges together to seal the samosas.

Step 9

Heat 500 ml of cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place a few samosas at a time into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove the samosas from the oil and drain excess oil on a kitchen towel.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
