Idaho Potato Samosas

Ingredients

Filling:

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 cups Idaho potato, cooked and crumbled

2 teaspoons mustard seeds

3 Tablespoons ginger, chopped

1-1/2 cups onions, chopped

1 cup cauliflower (small florets), coarsely chopped

1 cup cabbage, shredded

2 green chiles, seeded and minced

1/2 cup cashews, chopped

1 cup green peas

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

2 Tablespoons cilantro, coarsely chopped

Dough:

4-1/2 cups flour*

1 Tablespoon salt

1 Tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted

1 cup butter or ghee, soft but not liquified

3/4 cup ice water (use up to 1/4 cup more water if necessary)

1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

oil for deep frying

Serve mint or coconut chutney

Directions:

For Filling:
1. Heat oil in large saute pan (medium heat), add mustard seeds and ginger.

2. Once seeds begin to pop, add onions and cook for 4 minutes.

3. Add cauliflower, cabbage, chiles, cashews, peas, turmeric, lemon juice and salt to taste. Once cooked, about 6 to 7 minutes, cool and fold in cooked potatoes.

4. When cooled, add cilantro and reserve.

For Dough:
1. Mix flour and salt. Add toasted cumin seeds and butter or ghee. Mix in ice water and form like pastry dough, adding additional water as needed. Cool in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.

2. Roll out dough, about same thickness as pie dough (1/8-inch thick). Cut into circles, 3-inch to 3 1/4-inch in diameter (using a ring or a glass). Egg wash edges of dough and fill with a generous teaspoon of vegetable mixture. Fold over in a half-moon shape and crimp edges with a fork.

3. Deep-fry in 350 F. oil or bake in 400 F. oven for 23 to 25 minutes. Serve with mint or coconut chutney.

*For a denser consistency, substitute potato flour.
