Total Time:
65 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 80g (1/3 cup) yellow split peas
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp brown mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) vegetable liquid stock
  • 1 small (about 300g) orange sweet potato (kumara), peeled, cut into 1.5cm cubes
  • 110g (2/3 cup) frozen peas
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 sheets (25 x 25cm) ready-rolled frozen puff pastry, just thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, generously cover split peas with cold water and let soak for 3 hours. Drain and rinse. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Sauté onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add garlic, ginger, mustard seeds, and turmeric and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
  • Combine split peas and stock in a pot and bring to a lively boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in sweet potato, cover, and continue to cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Add peas to the mixture and simmer without a lid for 3-4 minutes until split peas are soft. Mix in garam masala. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 triangles. Divide the sweet potato mixture into 16 equal portions. Fill each pastry triangle with a portion of the mixture, brush the edges with whisked egg, fold over, and seal with a fork. Place on the lined tray and brush the samosas with any remaining egg.
  • Bake samosas in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes until they are puffed up and turn golden brown. Serve warm.
