These "samosas" aren't very authentically Indian since I made them with empanada wrappers. In my family, we've always fried them, but I tried baking them, and frankly, they're a thousand times better without all the oil. Plus, they don't get soggy like my mom's fried ones used to.

Steps

1

Sauté the onion and ginger in vegetable oil.
2

Cut the potatoes into small cubes (I made them a bit large, and it didn't turn out well).
3

When the onion is soft, add the mustard seeds, which will start popping like popcorn, and the rest of the spices. Mix everything well.
4

Next, add the potatoes, peas, and cauliflower, and mix again so they absorb the flavor of the spices.
5

Add water and let it cook for a while.
6

Remove from heat and let it cool before filling the wrappers.
7

Place a small amount in each wrapper and fold them like traditional empanadas. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds.
8

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15 minutes, and voilà.
9

Delicious...
