What you'll need

  • Half-sheet pan — Bake, broil, or roast appetizers on a flat, rimmed surface.
  • Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.
  • Pastry brush — Brush egg wash or oil on dough without tearing it.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, green peas, ginger, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, cardamom, turmeric, and 1/2 tsp salt, then mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, 1 tsp salt, and cumin seeds.
  3. Add organic avocado oil or butter to the dry mixture and rub in with fingertips until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the cold water while kneading until the dough is firm and smooth (it should be stiff, not sticky). Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into small portions, then roll each into a circle about 1/8 inch thick on a lightly oiled surface.
  6. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of each circle, fold into a triangle, and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
  7. Arrange the samosas on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with avocado oil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
