Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup soymilk
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups green peas
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon India Chef Korma sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • olive oil

Directions:

To make the dough for these samosas:
Put flour and salt in food processor
with dough blade. Mix. Add soymilk.
Mix and pulse until dough forms a
ball. Add additional flour if needed.
Remove dough and knead for one minute.
Cover dough tightly and refrigerate.
The dough should be pretty soft.

To make the filling:
Peel, quarter, and boil potatoes.
Lightly mash (leave some chunks).
Saute (in a small amount of olive oil)
onions, garlic, ginger, korma,
coriander, cayenne and salt until
onions are soft. Add peas and lemon
juice about half way through. Combine
potatoes and onion/peas mixture. Let
cool for at least 15 minutes before
filling pastries.

To assemble:
Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C)
Make 12 1 inche balls from the dough.
Flour hands and rolling pin. Get a
small bowl of water and a fork. On a
clean floured surface, one at a time,
roll the dough out into a 5 or 6 inch
circle. Put filling in center of
circle. (it really will all fit in the
12 samosas if you do it right.). Use
your finger to apply water around the
edges of the dough to make it sticky.
Pull dough together to make crescent
shape. Crimp edges firmly with fork.
Place samosa on cookie sheet.

Bake 15 minutes at 425, turn over and
bake 10 minutes at 375. Remove from
sheet, place on a plate and let them
cool.
