New Year Baked Samosas

NEW YEAR BAKED SAMOSAS

All measurements are approximate:

FILLING:
Peel, boil, and roughly mash:
potatoes: 6 cups or so

Stir into potatoes:
frozen peas: 1.5 cups
cilantro, roughly chopped: a good handful

Sauté (with a little oil) until carrots are a little soft:
carrots, diced: 2 cups
onions, diced: 2 small/medium sized
garlic, minced: 8 cloves

In the last minute or two of sautéing add:
4-6 tsp cumin seeds (or ground cumin)
3 tsp turmeric
3 tsp curry powder
2-4 tsp salt

Add the carrot mixture to the potatoes.

DOUGH
8 cups flour
6 tsp cumin seeds
2-4 tsp salt
1/4 - 1/5 cup oil
2-3 cups water

GLUE
1/4 cup flour
water to make it a thick paste

Slowly add the water while you stir/knead (you may not need all 3 cups). It should make a nice smooth ball of dough.

Let the dough rest for 5 - 30 minutes, then divide into small balls (slightly larger than walnuts, smaller than eggs). Then roll into very thin circles. Create a cone and use the glue to help seal it. Stuff the cones with as much potato filling as will fit and pinch them shut.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
