Recipe for samosas

Classic and delightful samosa with peas, onions, and potatoes.

This version is a meat-free variant and is supplemented with a delicious raita.

The dish is super good for getting vegetables into the youngest in the family and the crispy triangular pockets are a hit with most.

The recipe is a healthier version as they are baked in the oven.

We have the recipe from the book: “Green Food for the Whole Family“, written by Lisbeth Østergaard & Louisa Lorang. They write the following about the recipe:

“I use these as dinner with rice and salad, or as a snack—even cold in the lunchbox, my kids think they’re great. You can optionally make the filling and let your kids fold them themselves.”

Servings: 12 pcs.

Notes

LOUISA'S TIP:
Buy filo dough in the supermarket and never be stingy with the butter.
