Triangle Samosa

Spiced potatoes, white onions, green peas and chicken chunks, these deep-fried triangle medley makes a great starter or snack and it’s easy to freeze! Opt out chicken if you want to make a vegetarian version. I usually make a large batch and keep stock to serve friends and family and it’s always a crowd pleaser.

Folding Triangle Samosas

I use pre-made large square spring roll pastry sliced into long strips (thirds) and use double pastry skins for the extra hold and crunch when deep frying.

Frying

On a heated pan, add a generous amount of oil and fry the samosas a few at a time. Make sure they do not stick to each other while frying.

Hot tip!
Use an extra long pair of wooden chopsticks for frying to stay away from oil splatters.

Ingredients for filling:

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 5 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1kg potatoes with skin

• 200 grams frozen peas

• 5 tsp curry powder

• 3 tsp garam masala

• 2 tsp paprika powder

• 1 tsp tumeric powder

Instructions:

1. To start with the filling, add minced onions and garlic in a heated frying pan and then fry until fragrant and soft. Add in diced boiled potatoes and season with all spices until well coated.

2. Add in frozen peas and continue cooking on low heat for approximately 20 minutes or until all vegetables are soft. Add salt & pepper to taste.

3. To wrap the samosas, divide pastry into long thick stripes and brush the edge of the pastry sheet with water and then form a conical shape, sealing with dampened edges.

4. Fill in 2 tbsp of samosa filling and form the triangle shape until it’s sealed securely.

5. To fry the samosas, heat up oil in a large pan and fry samosas in small batches until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain on kitchen paper, letting it cool and serve with a dipping sauce of choice.

   I’ve tried samosas with 3 different dipping sauce. An easy version of plain yogurt with chopped mint leaves with a pinch of salt, a sriracha hot sauce and Thai sweet chilli sauce and my personal choice is sriracha sauce! It adds a punch of the flavour with the Indian spice blend of potatoes and peas! Ultra yums.
