Healthy Spiced Potato Samosas Recipe
Ingredients
- 400 g potato or sweet potato
- olive or canola oil spray
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbs korma curry paste
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup coriander stalks and leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 8 sheet mountain bread
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan forced)
- Steam diced potatoes. To do this in the microwave, cook in a partially covered bowl with a tablespoon of water for around 5 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, place a medium non-stick pan on high heat and spray with oil. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic, mustard seeds and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add curry paste and cook for a further 1 minute, stirring continuously, until fragrant. Remove from the heat.
- Mix potatoes, peas, coriander and lemon juice into the onion mixture. Mash lightly with a fork or potato masher to help bring the mixture together.
- Cut each piece of mountain bread into thirds lengthways, making 24 even strips. Try using a knife and ruler, or scissors to do this. Place a damp cloth over the pile of strips to stop from drying out.
- On a flat surface, place 2 teaspoons of curry onto one corner of a bread strip. Fold the end diagonally to form a small triangle, compressing filling tightly. Continue folding from point to point along the strip so each side is sealed to conceal the filling. Repeat with remaining bread and curry mix.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and place triangles seam-side down. Spray the top lightly with oil.
- Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, turn samosas over and cook for a further 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Serve while hot.
Variation:
Try other curry pastes like tandoori or tikka masala
Serving Suggestion:
Serve with chutney or a mint and yoghurt dipping sauce.
Comment:
These can be prepared a few days in advance and then reheated in the oven or sandwich press. They also freeze well. To serve quickly, microwave on a plate and then crisp up in the oven or sandwich press.
Healthy tip!
Having a party? Serve vegie sticks and water crackers with salsa rather than high-fat chips and dips.
