i found this delicious light meal/snack in a cookbook. :] it's pretty good because i made it. it's a vegetarian meal, but i don't know if it's vegan friendly. so here it is:
what you need: filling: 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion chopped 1/2 tsp ground coriander 1/2 tsp ground cumin pinch of turmic 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp garam masala 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 1/2 cups of potatoes diced 1 cup frozen peas, thawed 2 cups of spinach, chopped pastry: 12 sheets of filo pasty (found in frozen section by pies stuff, get one box) deep-fry (oil for deep-fry)
the filo pasties are really hard to work with. i suggest you don't pull the filo pasty sheets out of the freezer until you are ready to put them in the deep fryer.
first:to make filling heat the oil in a skillet and put the onions in for about 1-2 minutes, stir until soften. Stir in all of the spices and garlic and cook for about 1 minute. after that, add the potatoes and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes, stir until soften. then stir in peas and spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes. then, lay filo pasty sheets out on flat surface and fold each one in half. after that, place 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling on the sheet. Fold the sheet over in one corner to make triangle. Continue folding in this way to make a triangle package and seal edges with water so the vegetables don't fall out when you put them in the deep-fryer. do that for all of the pasties. finally, heat the oil in the deep-fryer to 180°C/350°F. Fry the samosas, in batches, for 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towel to get the grease off. (make sure you get the grease off because if you eat it with the grease it'll hurt your tummy i found that out the hard way). and then serve it! biggrin
i made them with my grandmother and me, her, and my grandpa all enjoyed it. :] i hope you do., if you have any questions just ask!
