Deconstructed Samosas

5 from 1 vote
Everyone in my family loves a good samosa. In fact, my husband and I actually met over a samosa recipe -- long story! The only thing I don’t like about traditional samosas is the dough around the filling and how it’s deep-fried, so I came up with this much healthier version.
Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 3 large potatoes, (boiled & peeled)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, (chopped)
  • 1/2 large onion, (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoons chia
  • 4 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Instructions 

  • Create chia paste by mixing chia with 6 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Set aside. 
  • Using a potato masher, mash boiled and peeled potatoes.
  • Once potatoes have been mashed, add in all other ingredients.
  • Form the mixture into 8 large or 10 small patties.
  • Heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat and pan-fry each patty for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Drain and cool on paper towels.
  • Serve with Chana Masala and mint chutney.

Bon appétit!
