Samosa Pie

For anyone who didn't grow up with a strong East Indian influence in their life a samosa is a deliciously flavorful and subtly spicy pocket potato dish... This is not a 100% traditional version, but it is DELICIOUS!

...What you will need...

-For Crust-

      1/2 cup whole wheat flour

      1/4 tsp salt 

      1 Tbs EVOO

      3 Tbs cold water

-For Filling- 

      3 potatoes 

      1 tsp curry powder

      1/2 tsp ground cumin  

      1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

      1 tsp ginger (minced)

      1 clove garlic (minced)

      1/2 yellow onion (diced)

      1/4 red bell pepper (diced)

      1 stick celery

      1/2 cup vegetable broth

      **I forgot to add this when I made mine, but would have been super yummy and a little more      

      traditional with whole pepper corns mixed in too! 

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit 

 

Clean potatoes cut potatoes into even pieces and place in a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain potatoes, place back into pot and hand mash potatoes over medium heat until they are somewhat smooth, but still with some chunks.    

 

For your crust combine your flour and salt in a bowl and mix together, add EVOO and whisk together until it forms clumps. Add 2 Tbs of cold water and mix together, if dough is too dry add another Tbs of water. Roll into a ball, place in the bowl, cover bowl with a damp cloth and set aside. 

 

Mix all of your spiced together in a bowl.

Mince your garlic and ginger and place into a skillet over medium heat.  Add all of your veggies and saute until al dente. Add 1/2 of your spice mixture, and coat veggies, let cook for ~3 mins. Add your vegetable broth, allow to cook for a few minutes. Fold vegetable mixture into potatoes, and add the other 1/2 of your spice mix. 

Roll out your dough so that it is just slightly larger than your cooking dish. Transfer veggie and potato mixture to cooking dish and top with your crust. Make 2 slits in your crust.

 

Place pie on cooking sheet and place in oven for 30 minutes. Once your awesome kitchen timer has gone off pull out your pie and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before your eat it... If you can! ITS SUPER YUMMY!!!
