Easy "Peasy" And Potato Samosas #Recipe!



Hey Everyone!! :-)

This is a fun, easy recipe to brighten up an Autumn night. Enjoy! :-)

Ingredients:
15-20 large wonton wrappers
2-3 cups vegetable or peanut oil
1 egg
2 tbsp water
1 cup butter melted
4 large potatoes peeled and boiled
2 cups frozen green peas thawed
1 onion chopped very fine or grated
1/2 cup kale or spinach leaves chopped fine
2 cloves garlic minced fine or grated
2 tsp ginger grated
1 tbsp coriander
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp mustard seeds or mustard seed powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl and set aside. In a larger bowl, mash and mix the remaining ingredients except for the oil and wonton wrappers. Make sure you mix everything thoroughly. Taste your mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary. Lay the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface and brush the edges with the egg wash. Put a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half (depending on the size of your wrappers) of the filling in the center of each wrapper, and then fold the wrappers over to form triangular-shaped dumplings and press the edges together to form a seal. Make sure not to over-fill your wrappers or they'll pop open when you cook them. If you want to, you can crimp the edges of your wontons with a fork, but it probably isn't necessary as long as you press the edges together firmly with the egg wash.

Put the oil in a frying pan and heat it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Put your samosas in the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown. Flip them over halfway through cooking to make sure they get brown on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Place the cooked samosas on a paper-towel-lined tray to drain the excess oil and lightly sprinkle them with salt. Serve warm by themselves or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Bon appetit!
