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.

Ingredients:
1lb ground chicken
1 box store bought pie crust
4 small potatoes peeled, diced and boiled
1 medium onion finely dice
1-2 cups of frozen peas
1 tsp of whole coriander seeds
1 tsp of whole cumin seeds
1 tsp of whole fennel seeds
2 serranos chilies (seeded and finely chopped)
1 tbs of grated garlic
2 tbs of grated ginger
1 Tbs garam masala powder
1-2 tsp red chili flakes (or to taste)
1 tsp curry powder
Directions:




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.

The blog looks great! The pics are esp'ly helpful. Can't wait to try some samosas.

ReplyDeleteI have an extra pie crust in the fridge. This recipe is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering is the ready-made pie crust would work for baked samosas and here you are. These look delicious!

ReplyDeleteLove the pie crust shortcut! Another delicious recipe, Ramona~
ReplyDelete(I don't even know what a samosa is.) Is it just a hand-held savory pie? Some reason it has that name? ::sigh:: Just feel free to call me an ignorant mess.
ReplyDeleteI also like knowing what the heck that delicious dish is that I'm going to be feeding my family soon.
I love samosas, empanadas, pierogi & all the other similar treats from around the world. This looks great.

ReplyDeleteCheers to the dish I order most often at Indian restaurants. With this chicken this would be a perfect snacky meal for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE samosas! You're such a hard worker and I respect you a lot. It's not easy to take step by step pictures (I do it so I know very well) and re-make everything so that you can get those final shots! I don't mind eating these samosas everyday... :)

ReplyDeleteRamona, believe it or not, I have never had samosas. Clearly I have been missing something great! These look so delicious and guess what...I even have all of the spices! I have definitely got to make these soon.
ReplyDeleteI adore samosas! NOW I CAN MAKE THEM IN THE OVEN?!?!? Ramona I could kiss you for this recipe!! teehee but I'll just send you an *air hug* instead. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't made samosas in years...and, as always, you've provided a perfect and delicious recipe! Have a great weekend, Ramona!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to love shortcuts more and more these days and this one is no exception. Knowing firsthand how tedious making these the "old fashioned" way is, this is a great alternative.
ReplyDeleteHow bread has traditionally been a 'comfort food' of little or no nutritional comfort food What we can use to replace traditional bread recipes and get many more nutrients that are of greater value to the human body.
