Equipment

  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 pot

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g onion  finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic  finely diced
  • 2 g curry powder
  • 2 g paprika
  • 0,5 g clove powder
  • 2 g cumin powder
  • 5 g fresh ginger chopped
  • 50 g carrot grated
  • 50 g potato  finely diced
  • 50 g pea
  • 100 g green lentil
  • 250 ml chicken stock
  • 2 filo pastry
  • salt,black pepper
  • 10 ml sunflower oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat a small amount of oil in a pot over medium heat and add the onions, potatoes, garlic, and carrots, sweating them gently without allowing them to take on color.
  • Once slightly softened, stir in the ginger and lentils, letting them cook together until well combined.
  • Continue simmering over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and lentils are fully tender.
  • Add the spices and stock, cover, and let it simmer until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Once cooked, fold in the peas to retain their vibrant color and adjust seasoning as needed. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • To make triangle-shaped samosa, cut the filo pastry into long rectangular strips (about 6-8 cm wide). Place a spoonful of filling at the bottom of each strip, then fold the bottom corner diagonally over to the opposite side, forming a triangle. Continue folding the triangle shape along the length of the strip until you reach the end. Seal the final edge with water to prevent it from opening.
  • Deep-fry in hot oil until crispy and golden brown.
    Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
    Enjoy!

Notes

Don't Overfill

When filling the samosas, be sure not to overstuff them. Overfilling can cause the pastry to tear while frying. A small spoonful of filling is enough for each one.

Seal Properly

Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying. Use a little water or a paste made from flour and water to help seal the edges.

Try Different Fillings

Don’t limit yourself to just potato,peas, lentils filling , or even meat (chicken, lamb, or beef). For a unique twist, try adding cheese or herbs for extra flavor.

Serve with Chutney

Samosas are best enjoyed with a tangy chutney, like mint or tamarind. The dip complements the spiced filling and balances out the richness of the fried pastry.
