Ingredients

3 T. olive oil or butter

a pinch of cayenne

1 onion, finely diced

2 T. minced fresh ginger

1 T. yellow curry powder

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 1/2 cups cooked potatoes

1/4 cup frozen peas

2 heaping T. plain yogurt

1/4 cup minced cilantro

1/2 tsp. salt

black pepper to taste

2 sheets frozen puff pastry

The Sauce:

1/2 cup plain yogurt

3 T. water

Half a bunch cilantro leaves

8 mint leaves

1/2 tsp. vinegar

1tsp. white sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Take out the puff pastry, unfold, and defrost

To make the samosas, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the cayenne and onion and saute over high heat for 3 minutes.

Add the minced ginger and curry powder to the pan. Saute for two minutes. Add the garlic, potatoes, and peas. Saute for 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the yogurt and cilantro and turn off the heat.

Gently roll out the puff pastry so that it is a little larger than its original size. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 even squares. Place a heaping tsp. of potato filling in the middle of each square and fold diagonally to make a triangle. Press the edges of the triangle together.

Place stuffed samosas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until golden.

The Sauce:

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Serve alongside samosas for dipping.

Thanks for your comments juels. Let me know if you create the samosas, ok?

I thought this dish would be a fun way to experience working with Indian flavors/spices and also "puff pastry". Personally I am dabbling in Indian cooking, but my hips and body won't let me go near puff pastry.

I love the combination of yogurt with cilantro, mint, and the potatoes. I have also been teaching myself to work with puff pastry dough and this sounds so cool. I am going to make this!
