Samosa Filling Recipe
This samosa filling recipe makes authentic-tasting spiced potato samosa stuffing ready to roll into crispy, crunchy samosas.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 lb potato peeled and chopped
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 finely chopped medium onion
- 2 tbsp finely chopped jalapeno
- 2 tsp finely grated ginger packed
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- 1 ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Put the potato in a medium pot and cover it with 1 inch of water. Cook until the potato is soft, then drain the water using a colander. Mash the potato with a fork and set it aside.
- Put the pot back on medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon of salt, cooking for about 6 minutes until the onion is soft and just starting to brown.
- Add the jalapeño and ginger, cooking for one more minute. Then, add the spices and stir for about 30 seconds until they smell fragrant.
- Mix in the mashed potato, remaining salt, frozen peas, and cilantro. Stir everything together until well combined, then put it in the fridge to cool.
Notes
1 pound of potatoes is roughly equal to 1 large russet potato or 2 medium yellow potatoes.
Taste the seasoning before completing the filling to ensure it isn’t bland.
Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the heat level.
