Serves:: 4-6

ingredients

4 tablespoons ghee
1 lb potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup peeled and finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
¹⁄₂ teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
salt and pepper

directions

Heat a large frying pan and add the ghee, potatoes, garlic, onion and ginger.
Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes to sweat the potatoes down.
Stir a few times.
Don’t brown.
Add the remaining ingredients and continue cooking, covered until the potatoes and peas are tender.
I use this as a side dish -- or you can buy eggroll wrappers -- fill them and deep fry till golden -- very nice.

I added ground corriander and cumin which gave it a REAL flavour punch! And Caynne pepper which gave it a kick. Don't be afraid to add more of all the spices, in my opinion you can't have too much flavour in a samosa! They were soooo popular at my Tupperware party that I was asked to make them for a friends farwell too. I put them in puff pastry tringles...a little fiddly but very impressive looking!

This was my first attempt at making samosas and I used this filling in premade wrappers and it was very tasty. I had trouble getting the potatoes to cook until they were tender without them browning. I may try boiling the potatoes a bit before adding them to the pan to cut down on cooking time which took almost half an hour. I served the samosas with Recipe#64600.

Loved this, and it did taste like samosa filling (though I made some changes). I looked at some other samosa recipes and decided on the following: to add 1/2 teaspoon each mustard seeds, cumin seeds and ground coriander, plus a pinch of cayenne pepper; use canola oil to make it healthier (and only 1/2 tablespoon); and add broth, until the moistness resembled the right consistency (5 tablespoons). This also helped to make up for the decrease in oil. I thought the flavor was super and enjoyed every bite!

Zaar has been such a super experience for me.Not only do I get to try new recipes...play with my camera taking foodie pics but I get to make new friends along the way! I'm currently unemployed so have lots more time to devote to a couple of my passions...cooking and photography. So long as my health is good...I'm full speed ahead! I love gardening as well and grow my own herbs. I love my city...just ask me! LOL I &hearts; MTL Montreal has many food festivals and of course our famous Jazz festival and also the Comedy festival"Just for laughs". Below is my Grand-Kitten, Hopper...since I have no grandbabies yet and he belongs to my son...I decided he deserved the title and he is just the apple of my eye...he is 8 weeks in this pic. <img
