Indian Samosa Casserole

"This filling in this recipe from Vegetarian Times is very close to that of authentic Indian samosas. I am including the recipe for whole wheat pie crust given in the magazine but I personally would prefer it made with my usual white flour crust or something closer to a real samosa crust."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To make the crust, whisk together the flours and salt in a bowl.
  • Stir in the oil until clumps form.
  • Add 6 to 10 tablespoons cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
  • Shape into a ball, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
  • To make the filling, stir together the mustard seeds, curry powder, ginger, cumin and red pepper flakes in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain, return to the pot, and mash, leaving small chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrot and garlic and saute 5 minutes, or until the carrot is tender.
  • Move the onion mixture to one side of the pan and add the mustard seed mixture in the centre.
  • Toast for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the peas and broth.
  • Fold the onion mixture into the potatoes and stir in the sugar.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Spread the filling in a 9" pie dish and set aside.
  • Roll out the crust to an 11" circle on a floured work surface.
  • Cover the filling with the crust, pressing down to make sure no air pockets remain.
  • Trim away the excess dough and crimp the edges.
  • Cut an X in the centre to vent the steam and brush with milk before baking.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the crust is golden.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
