Ingredients:
1 package frozen ready-made Puff Pastry, thawed *
1 potato, peeled and finely diced
1 carrot finely diced
2 cloves of crushed garlic
1 onion finely chopped
1 cup of frozen peas
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tspn of curry powder or your own spices according to taste**
salt and pepper to taste
100 ml vegetable stock
1 egg, beaten
* some recipes call for using filo dough, however I have found puff pastry MUCH easier to use
** I tend to use double the amount of curry powder and add cumin as well, depending on your tastes
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add onion and garlic, mix in the spices and fry until soft. Add the vegetables, more seasoning if preferred (this is when I like to add more curry) and stir until well coated. Add the stock, cover and simmer for 30 minutes until cooked. (You may need to add more stock as the mixture cooks to prevent it from drying out)
Once you've made the vegetable mixture divide the thawed puff pastry into 12 equal pieces (most come in 2 sheets, I cut 6 equal pieces from each sheet) Roll each piece of dough into a ball and roll into a 15 cm circle (about 6 inches) Place a tbsp of the mixture in the middle of each circle then moisten the edges with a bit of water. Fold the circle over and seal the edges. Place the samosas on a lightly greased baking tray. Beat one egg and brush the egg wash over each samosa.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, cool on a wire rack after removing from the oven.
***I think they taste better cold
Enjoy!!!
