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.
