Instructions

 

For the Filling:

• In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion turns translucent.
• Add the finely diced carrot, mashed potato, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
• Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper over the vegetable mixture. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the Pastry:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Gradually add warm water to the mixture, kneading until the dough forms a smooth and pliable ball. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.

Assembly:

• Take one dough circle and place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center.
• Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle shape. Seal the edges by pressing them firmly with your fingers.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough circles and filling.

Cooking:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the samosas on the baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with oil using a pastry brush.
• Bake the samosas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy.
• Serve the African Samosas on a platter or individual plates, and enjoy the explosion of flavors with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
