Potato & pea pastries (Aloo matar samosas) & Mint Raita

from Be Inspired – A Month of Indian: Inspired by Ajoy Joshi (page 46)by Roberta Muir and Ajoy Joshi

  • ground turmeric 
  • garam masala 
  • cumin seeds 
  • fresh ginger root
  • green chilli
  • ghee
  • waxy potatoes
  • green peas
  • coriander leaves
  • vegetable oil

I have mixed feelings about the samosa. I found the pastry quite heavy (and deep fried is not good for me). I preferred the lighter baked filo pastry version. But it was fun making them.

re the Mint Raita: Having made the IHC version with the addition of Coriander, ginger and green chilli, I found this version of the Riata to be a poor variation.
