How to make it 🔪
Recipe 📖
Samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the local cuisines of India, the Middle East, Africa, and other Asian countries. Due to cultural diffusion and emigration from these areas, samosas have gained popularity and are also prepared in many other regions. The fillings may vary, however, the most common filling is mashed potato, onions, and peas. The triangular shape is also significant to this dish. While it’s mostly a vegan savory dish, there are many recipes with a sweet filling inside. I plan on making the sweet version very soon. Traditionally, samosa is deep-fried. But over the years, since people have become more health-conscious, baked versions have started being made. Personally, I prefer the fried version more because it’s more authentic and tastier. And since during the holidays, everyone is in the mood to indulge, it makes it the perfect holiday snack for all to enjoy! In fact, every Friday on his customary visit to the Indian grocery store, he gets fresh samosas for both of us. We enjoy this with our evening cup of coffee. You can also find frozen samosas at these local grocery stores if you are bored to cook or want to try a batch first to check it out. But I would recommend that you try the authentic fresh fried samosas first or my puff pastry samosa version before the frozen ones. Stuffed Potato French Loaf is my version of Vada Pav. Then there is Mexican Pani Puri, Dabeli Pizza, Indian Curry Pasta, and Thandai Chocolate Bark that I am really excited about. Now I wanted to create a Samosa fusion dish and what better way than to use pastry puffs! I enjoy cooking with pastry puff sheets. They are so versatile and one can get as creative as possible when it comes to using them. Also, the benefit of using puff sheets is that the dish becomes easy and more appetizing. And that’s how I came up with this idea to make a baked samosa recipe!

These vegan mushroom potato samosas are light, crunchy, flaky, golden, with a crust that will melt in your mouth and a spicy, savory filling that’ll make you want more.
Normally, samosa is stuffed with mashed potatoes, today we are making potato mushroom curry to use as stuffing. Use any mushroom variety for this recipe. I have used minced white button mushrooms to make this curry filling. Potatoes - Use Russet or Gold potatoes. Boil, peel, and mash them. Veggies - I have added Bell pepper. However, you can also add onions. Spices and herbs like green chillies, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, cilantro, and amchur powder give this dish its real flavor. Puff Pastry Sheets - I have used store-bought vegan pastry sheets. Always check the label before you buy it. You can also make them at home. Green Peas Spinach Pastry Puffs, Paneer Gujiya Shells, and Spinach Paneer Puffs are three more recipes that you can make with puff pastry. Keep this potato mushroom curry aside for now and let it cool. You can also store it in the fridge till you need it. Serve them warm with tomato ketchup or green chutney and tamarind chutney. These can also be paired with hot and cold beverages like Dalgona Coffee, Masala Tea, or Pumpkin Spice Latte. Serve them at your next Diwali/Thanksgiving/Christmas party and watch your guests go ga-ga over it! These vegan samosa pastry puffs are light, crunchy, and very delicious. It reminds me of Mumbai’s samosa pav in some way. Be liberal while adding the filling but ensure you are able to close it properly. Add grated cheese along with the filling to make cheesy samosa puffs. Make and eat them warm and fresh. But if gone cold, you can reheat the vegetable samosa in the microwave.Â
