SWEET POTATO MINI SAMOSAS

Steps:

• Thaw the samosa sheets on the kitchen counter while you prepare the samosa filling.
• To a wok/ pan, add 1 tbsp oil and heat on flow flame. Add grated ginger, chopped green chillies and cook for a few seconds. Add peas and cook for 1 minutes. Add coriander powder, chilli powder, salt, cumin powder and mix well until peas are well coated with the spices. Keep aside to cool for about 4-5 minutes. To a large bowl, add mashed or grated sweet potato and add the cooled down pea-mixture. Mix well.
• Shape the samosas by adding 1 1/2 tbsp of filling to each samosa sheet. For tips on how to shape samosa, click here.
• To a large wok, add oil and leat heat until very hot. Now add samosas one by one (3-4 at a time) and cook on medium low flame for about 3-4 minutes (turn in between) until they are brown, golden and crispy. Transfer to serving dish and serve with homemade coriander chutney.

SPINACH & SWEET POTATO SAMOSAS

Steps:

• Put the sweet potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cling film and microwave on High for 8 mins or until soft.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, add the chopped onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Stir in the ginger, garlic, chilli (if using) and coriander stalks, stirring for a couple mins more until fragrant (the garlic will burn easily, so keep an eye on it). Add the curry paste and half the black onion seeds to the pan, stir for 30 secs or so until fragrant, then add the spinach and 2-3 tbsp water. Cook the spinach until wilted, then add the sweet potato and any liquid from the bowl. Season well and mash everything together with the back of a spoon, leaving some chunky bits of potato. Leave to cool completely.
• Unroll the pastry and pull out two sheets to work with - keep the rest covered with a tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Brush both sheets with a little oil and scatter some of the black onion seeds over one sheet. Put the other sheet on top. With the shortest side facing you, cut down the centre to make two long strips. Scoop a sixth of the sweet potato mixture onto the top right-hand corner of the filo in a rough triangle shape. Fold the pastry over on an angle, continuing down the length of the pastry until you reach the bottom and have a neat triangle encasing the filling. Trim off any excess pastry with a knife. Repeat to make six samosas. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Put the samosas on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Brush with a little more oil and sprinkle over the remaining black onion seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins or until deep golden brown. Meanwhile, peel the cucumber into ribbons, then toss with the sliced onions and coriander leaves. To serve, dollop some yogurt onto each plate, top with two samosas, a mound of the cucumber salad and mango chutney.

MINI SWEET POTATO SAMOSAS

Steps:

• Simmer sweet potatoes with a little water until very soft. Drain, and mash with butter, milk, onion soup mix, and curry powder.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place about 1 teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush two adjacent edges of wrapper with water, fold into a triangle, and press the edges together to seal. Brush both sides with sesame oil. Place the samosas on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn over, and bake for 5 minutes more.

BAKED SWEET POTATO VEGETABLE SAMOSAS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Saute sweet potato, eggplant, and onion in hot oil until the onion is softened, 7 to 10 minutes; season with curry powder, cumin, and garam masala.
• Pour stock into the pot. Bring liquid to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until vegetables are completely tender, adding more broth as needed to keep mixture moist, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and set aside to let mixture cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lie each pie crust onto a lightly-floured surface. Cut each crust into 8 wedges. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into the middle of each triangle.
• Bring two corners of each triangle together, pressing the dough along the edges to seal. Bring up the last corner and seal the last edge. Arrange samosas onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
