Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 150 g potato
- 150 g carrot finely diced
- 100 g peas frozen
- 2 tsp curry powder

For the Pastry
- 225 g plain flour
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 scoops (50g) AdVital Powder
- 120 mL water
Instructions
For the Filling
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Finely dice.
- Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until translucent.
- Add the carrot, potato, peas and garlic and cook, stirring, for a further 10 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and vegetable stock and cook, stirring, until mixture reduces by half.
- Add the AdVital Powder, stir until combined.
- Remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes to cool completely.
For the Pastry
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients.
- Turn mixture out onto bench, and knead the dough for 10 minutes or until smooth.
- Cover with cling film, and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Making the Samosas
- Cut the dough into 14 equal portions, then roll each into balls. Keep the balls on a plate covered with cling wrap so they don't dry out.
- Dust the work surface with some flour. Roll the dough into a rectangle.
- Brushoff any excess flour, then brush with water and fold to form a triangle-shape.
- Fill with 2 tsp of the potato filling, then fold over to seal the filling into the dough. Press edges to seal.
- Repeat with remaining Samosas – you should make 12 in total.
Frying
- Heat oil to 160°C in a medium sized saucepan.
- Carefully drop 3 samosas in the oil and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown, moving them around occasionally.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining samosas.
- Serve hot with mango chutney.
