Samosa Tarts
- 4 medium sized Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 roll of pre-made phyllo sheets
- 1/3 cup olive or coconut oil plus 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup green peas (can be frozen)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees and grease a muffin pan
- Boil the potatoes in their jackets until soft. Place in cold water. Peel and mash the potatoes coarsely. Mix in the salt.
- While the potatoes are cooking. Work with the phyllo sheets about 6 layers at a time. Place the first layer over a clean surface, brush with olive oil and place the second layer over the first. For this purpose, the placement does not have to be perfect and you can allow yourself a few tears here and there.
- Once you have lined up about 6 sheets, cut into a 4-inch by 4-inch piece. Align over the pan and then gently shape to form a shell.
- Continue until you have 12 of these, essentially until all the muffin pans are done.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil and add in the mustard seeds and wait until the seeds crackle
- Add in the ginger and the onion and saute well until translucent.
- Add in the turmeric, cayenne potatoes and the carrots and mix well. Cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
- Add in the peas and mix well and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. If you are using fresh peas add them in with the carrots.
- Sprinkle with the lime juice, mix in the cilantro and the pomegranate seeds.
- Carefully fill the prepared shells with about 1 and half tablespoons of the filling, enough the fill the shell comfortably, but not over stuff it.
- Bake for another 3 to 4 minutes and serve hot.
