I love samosas. They are an Indian snack or appetizer that is filled with either vegetarian filling or a meat and vegetable filling. Most often Samosas are deep fried. Sure they taste great all fried and crispy, but I feel such guilt indulging in them. I wanted to bake them, but since I am not a whiz with making dough, I took my usual shortcut and got some help from the store. So here is my quick and easy way to make this fun Indian treat. This recipe makes 8 large samosas.

Finally add the frozen peas and diced potatoes. Now incorporate all the ingredients together and add 1 tbs of lemon juice. Check for alt and seasoning here. Allow mixture to cool down before proceeding to assembling the samosa.

Press with a fork and crimp the edges.
Apply a egg wash to the top of each samosas before baking.
Bake at 400 degrees on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with some cooking spray or buttered. They should bake between 15-20 minutes. Serve with any chutney or sauce you like. Enjoy.
