Samosa Pie – Bake Samosa Like a Pie
Samosa is a popular Indian snack with a crispy crust and spicy filling. But why not try it differently? Baked Samosa Pie offers the same great flavours in a healthier, shareable form. No need to make individual samosas just bake one big pie! Perfect for parties, family dinners, or a quick snack, it’s a fun twist on a classic favorite.
The Key to Make the Best Samosa Pie
The base of this dish is a simple dough made from flour, salt, carom seeds (ajwain), and butter, rolled out to form the pie crust. For the perfect flakiness, let the dough rest before using it.
The highlight of this dish is the stuffing, made with boiled potatoes and green peas. Spices like cumin, turmeric, coriander powder, and chaat masala enhance the flavor, while dried mango powder adds a tangy kick, and dried fenugreek leaves deepen the taste. Freshly chopped coriander brings a burst of freshness, tying everything together.
Cook the filling well in a pan to blend the flavors, then let it cool completely before assembling the pie.
Putting It All Together
Roll out the dough, grease the pie dish, and line it with a sheet of dough. Spread the spicy potato filling evenly over the base. Cover with another layer of dough, pressing the edges firmly to seal. For a golden finish, brush the top with egg wash and make a few small cuts to let steam escape while baking.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and crispy.
