Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- Gluten-free tortillas (6)
- Potatoes (2 medium, boiled and mashed)
- Peas (1/2 cup, cooked)
- Onion (1 small, chopped)
- Garam masala (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking the samosas.
- Start by preparing the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with the cooked peas.
- Add the chopped onion, garam masala, and salt to the potato and pea mixture. Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Take one gluten-free tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the samosa. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are sealed tightly.
- Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all samosas are prepared.
- Place the assembled samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
- Brush the tops of the samosas lightly with oil to help them crisp up while baking.
- Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the samosas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the baked tortilla samosas warm with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
Tips
- Choose high-quality gluten-free tortillas that are fresh and pliable to prevent cracking during folding.
- Ensure your potato and pea filling is well-seasoned—don't be afraid to taste and adjust the garam masala and salt.
- Press the edges firmly when sealing the samosas to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Use a fork to create a decorative crimp on the edges, which helps seal the samosas and gives them an authentic look.
- Brush the samosas lightly with oil to help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Allow the samosas to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Serve with a tangy mint chutney or tamarind sauce for an extra flavor boost.
