Baked Samosas with Mango Chutney


Samosas are an irresistible deep-fried Indian pastry. This baked version proves to be equally delicious.

Filling:
2 cups potato, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 cups pumpkin, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 cup cauliflower, cut into small florets
1/2 cup frozen peas, rinsed and drained
1 Tbsp. nonhydrogenated soy margarine or butter
1/2 Tbsp. cumin seeds
1/2 Tbsp. ground cumin
1/2 Tbsp. ground coriander
3/4 Tbsp. Indian curry paste
1 tsp. Spike all-purpose seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. honey

Pastry:
1 1/4 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. safflower oil
5 Tbsp. water, or as needed

Mango Chutney:
1/2 tsp. safflower oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 small fresh red chili, seeded and finely diced
1/8 tsp. cumin seeds
1 large sweet mango, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/8 tsp. ground coriander
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. raw sugar
1/8 tsp. salt

1. Steam the potato and pumpkin until almost tender, then add the cauliflower and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add the peas, and mix well. Set aside.

2. In a small skillet heat the margarine or butter on medium-low heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast until golden. Remove from the heat and add the remaining spices and salt. Cook again for a few minutes until browned and fragrant. Add the honey and remove from the heat. Mix the seasonings with the steamed vegetables and chill.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the dry pastry ingredients in a bowl. Add the oil and rub in with your fingertips until crumbly. Mix in just enough water to make a soft dough. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth.

4. Form the dough into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disk between the palms of your hands. Roll each disk into a thin 6-inch circle, then cut each circle in half.

5. Wet the straight edge of a half-circle with water, then fold in half and seal together to form an open cone. Fill the cone with the potato mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch of pastry at the top. To seal, start at the left side and pinch the two pastry sides together, then fold down. Keep pinching and folding, crimping all the way along in this manner. Repeat for each one.

6. Place the samosas on an oiled baking tray. If desired, lightly brush with oil for a smooth, golden finish. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Serve hot or cold with Mango Chutney.

7. For the chutney, heat the oil in a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Add the garlic, chili, and cumin seeds and sauté until light golden.

8. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking. Serve as needed.

Makes 16 samosas
