  • Place baking sheet in oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until crispy outside.

To make Filling

  • Boil potatoes and peas (boil them separately). Mash the potatoes and set aside when done.
  • In a saute pan on medium heat, add ghee and cumin seeds.
  • Once the cumin seeds turn golden, add green chilies, onions and a pinch of salt - stir-fry until onions turn translucent.
  • Then add ginger, spices and stir-fry for a minute or so before adding the mashed potatoes - combine well.
  • Fold in peas and cilantro then set the mixture aside until you’re ready for it.

Notes

  • If you are nut-free, you can use my 3-ingredient coconut flour naan as the base.
  • you'll have some extra filling. you can either:
    a) make more batter for samosas
    b) eat it with naan
    c) eat the filling on its own
    d) all of the above
