Ingredients 

  • 2 puff pastry sheets
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 inch ginger;, chopped
  • ¼ cup moong dal;, washed
  • 1 cup frozen peas;, thawed
  • 1 large potato;, diced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ tablespoon garam masala
  • ½ juice of lime

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package.
  • Pre-heat oven at 400°F.
  • Heat oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds until they start popping. Add in ginger and moong dal.
  • Add in the peas, potatoes, and salt to the pan. Cover the pan for about 5 minutes while mixing in between and cook until potatoes start to soften. If the mixture starts sticking, you can add a couple of tablespoons of water.
  • Add the carrots, turmeric powder, and garam masala and cook for a few more minutes until potatoes are completely cooked.
  • Squeeze lime juice and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Place thawed puff pastry on an even surface and cut into 9 squares per sheet.*
  • Scoop about one tablespoon of the filling onto the puff pastry square and fold at two corners to create a triangle shape. Press edges with a fork and use a knife to cut two slits at the top of the triangle to release air pockets.
  • Place samosa puffs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray top of puffs with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown at the top.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with some sweet tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney!

Notes

*You can roll out your squares to make them slightly larger but that's completely optional. I've learned they still bake well after I roll it out.
