    Ingredients for Baked Samosa with Phyllo Dough
  • Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into 4 parts. Bake for 20 min or until easily pierced by a fork in 350F preheated oven. You can also cook potatoes in boiling water for 20-30 minutes on medium heat. Meanwhile, peel and dice an onion, deseed and dice chili pepper, peel, and dice ginger root. Cook on medium heat for 5 min or until the onion becomes translucent. Add spices cook for 2 minutes more. Add diced ginger, garlic, and chili pepper. Cook for 3 minutes and set aside.
    Thress step process to make the filling for samosas
  • If you are boiling potatoes add frozen peas to the boiling water 1 minute before the end of cooking. Mash cooked potatoes with peas. If you were baking potatoes, then defrost peas separately in a colander under running cold water for 5 minutes. Add them to the pot with hot baked potatoes and mash with a fork for a chunky texture (it tastes better like that). Leave some peas untouched to add even more texture to your filling. Add spiced onions and diced cilantro and mix everything together. Taste the filling and add some salt or lemon juice if needed.
