This Samosa Pie is a deconstructed version of the traditional Indian samosa, baked into a golden, flaky pie crust. It’s filled with a spiced potato and pea mixture, making it a hearty, vegetarian comfort food with all the familiar flavors of samosas, minus the deep-frying.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and ginger, cooking another minute.
  4. Stir in garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add diced potatoes, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender and water is absorbed.
  6. Stir in peas, lemon juice, and cilantro. Let mixture cool slightly.
  7. Transfer filling to a greased pie dish or cast iron skillet.
  8. Top with puff pastry sheet, trimming excess and crimping edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  9. Brush with beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can use mashed or diced potatoes depending on your preferred texture.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables can be used instead of just peas.
  • For a vegan version, skip the egg wash or use a plant-based milk instead.
