directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • EGG WASH: Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
  • CRUST.
  • In a food processor, process the flour, butter, and salt until the dough forms a soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. This dough will be moist and softer than most pastry.
  • FILLING.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil and add onions, ginger, and garlic. Saute until onions are golden.
  • Add the potatoes, and saute for a few minutes more.
  • Add the spices and stir until mixed in well with the potato mixture.
  • Add the cilantro, lemon juice, and peas, stirring well. Remove from heat.
  • ASSEMBLY.
  • Leave about a third of the dough for the top crust. Roll out remaining dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Line the springform pan with the dough, letting in hang over the top about 1/2 an inch.
  • Brush with the egg wash.
  • Pour in the filling and press down well.
  • Roll out the reserved dough, place over the pan, trim pastry and crimp edges sealing well. Brush with remaining egg wash.
  • Bake in oven for about 1 hour, until golden and heated through. Best made a day ahead and reheated at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
  • Serve with Raita.

  1. This pie is amazing. I experimented on my partner first because I wanted to make samosas for a dinner party but realized it would be too much work. I found out This is the perfect alternative to the real thing! Plus making the dough in the food processor was genius. I didn't time it but I think it took less than 2 minutes for the dough. Awesome!
     
  2. This is a lovely pie! I served it with Onion Bhajees (Recipe #57913), yogurt, and various chutneys and relishes. Everyone in the house loved it. Thanks!!
     
  3. Sorry we didn't really care for this, it was just too much potato.
     
  4. Loved it! I had a pie crust in the freezer so I made your filling and topped it with a frozen pie crust.<br/>It was delicious drizzled with a tamarind dipping sauce! <br/>Thanks!
     
  5. Made this for my boyfriend who introduced me to samosa's. We had it with chicken tikka masala, naan and lots of green chutney! It was very good, but not quite the same flavor as the samosa's from our favorite Indian palce.

I live about 20 minutes away from Vancouver, British Coumbia in the Historic Little Fishing City of Ladner, BC, this photo is just a view from one of the many little Islands that surround Vancouver Island and Vancouver. I am close to many Berry and Fruit Farms, Organic Farms and plentiful Seafood. I am currently a part-time Private Chef for a client in Vancouver , she keeps my job very interesting snd challenging. I am always looking for recipes to prepare for her. Most of the recipes I post have been successful with clients or family over the years however I am pretty lazy about entering them in my cookbook, but I am getting better. Also after being online for years I am utilizing Recipezaar as a means to organize all my online saved recipes and recipes yet to try. My other work days are working with my Dad in the Family Business which is in Transportation . It says passions, well, I guess I have a passion for the search, the pouring over of recipes in cookbooks and the internet, most of the time I don't end up making any of them but I just love to look.
