Ingredients

4 small russet potatoes

1 Tbsp garlic, minced

1/2 Tbsp ginger, minced

1 yellow onion, diced

1 cup peas

1 jalapeño, diced

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/8 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp salt

1 tsp lemon juice

1 cup chopped cilantro

2 puff pastry sheets

1 egg with a dash of water for egg wash

green chutney (optional)

Directions

Cook Potatoes: Prick your potatoes with a fork and microwave for 8-10 min. Peel and mash.

Sauté: Heat oil in a pan on medium-high. Add cumin seeds and cook for 1 minute. Toss in onions, garlic, ginger, and chilies. Sauté for another minute.

Add Spices: Sprinkle in turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, then add peas and mashed potatoes. Mix and cook for a few more minutes.

Finish Filling: Mix in lemon juice and let the filling cool (or prep ahead and refrigerate until ready to use)

Prepare Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on parchment paper.

Assemble: Spread a thin, even layer of green chutney over the puff pastry (optional). Next spread the cooled samosa filling evenly, leaving space on one edge for sealing. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Roll & Chill: Roll the pastry tightly into a log and freeze for about 15 mins in order to slice it easier or just leave in the fridge overnight.

Slice & Bake: Cut into half-inch rolls and lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Brush with egg wash. Bake for about 17 minutes at 425℉ until golden and crispy. Enjoy!
