- 1 lb yukon gold potato, unpeeled, scrubbed, baked, and smashed
- 14 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 24 sheets whole wheat phyllo dough, thawed if frozen
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Add the onion, ginger, and vinegar and saute for 3 minutes.
- Add the peas, coriander, cumin, lemon zest, garam masala, salt, and chili powder and saute for 2 minutes.

- Adjust seasoning to taste; transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the butter, tahini, mustard, and 3 tablespoons water until smooth; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Unroll and cover the phyllo sheets with a damp clean kitchen towel.
- One at a time, lay a phyllo sheet flat on a clean surface and very lightly brush with the melted butter mixture.
- Fold in one-third of the phyllo lengthways toward the middle.
- Very lightly brush again with the butter mixture and fold in the other side to make a long triple-layered rectangle.
- Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the vegetable mixture at one end of the long rectangle, leaving about 1-inch border.
- Take the right corner and fold diagonally to the left, encasing the filling and forming a triangle.
- Then fold along the upper crease of the triangle, and continue folding in this manner until you reach the end of the long rectangle.
- Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and very lightly brush the outer surface with the remaining butter mixture; repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
- Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating halfway through the baking process.
- Place the samosas on a large platter and serve.
