Baked Butternut Squash Samosas
Another one for my Butternut Squash series ;) Samosas are often made with potatoes but I tried it with butternut squash instead! I also find baking samosas instead of frying is much easier and they turn out less oily.
There are a lot of spices in here but if you don't have them all, don't worry. It will still taste good if you leave something out or you could even replace with curry powder or something else you like.
Makes 8 samosas. Adapted from Baked Aloo Samosas from http://www.munatycooking.com

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and cut the squash into 1 inch (2-3 cm cubes). Cut the carrot into quarters lengthwise.
- 2
Steam the carrot and butternut until butternut squash is soft enough to mash, about 10 minutes. The carrot should still be somewhat firm. (You can boil if you want too). If using okra, steam for about 2-3 minutes until bright green.
- 3
Mash the butternut squash with a fork, leaving some small chunks behind. Cut the carrot into small cubes. If using okra, slice into thin rounds. Peas can stay as is :)
- 4
Mix spices in a small bowl.
- 5
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Fry garlic until fragrant then add the butternut squash and stir to mix. Add rest of the spices, carrots, peas/okra and sauté for a couple minutes until mixed well. Salt to taste.
- 6
Set aside filling to cool a little and meanwhile prepare the dough as below.
- 7
Mix the ingredients for the dough in a bowl, gradually adding the water until the dough comes together. Knead or fold it briefly to form into a smooth, pliable ball.
- 8
Cut into 4 equal pieces and roll into balls again. Cover and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
- 9
Roll out each dough ball into a small round sheet then cut it in half.
- 10
Fold the half circle piece in half to form a kind of triangle. Pinch the straight side closed.
- 11
Cup the folded piece in your hand so it's like a cone with the opening at the top. Stuff some of the filling inside, trying to make sure it also fills the bottom point of the cone.
- 12
Pinch and old over the open side to seal. You might need to stretch the dough slightly if it's super packed with filling ;)
- 13
Arrange the 8 samosas on a lined baking sheet...
- 14
And brush with about 2 tsp of olive oil.
- 15
Bake at 180C/350F for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- 16
Arrange on a big plate and dig in! I like to serve mine with a yogurt sauce simply made by mixing thick yogurt, a bit of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers Crispy Samosas with Easy Homemade Wrappers
I had some really good samosas at a restaurant and made them again at home! I used a recipe from a cookbook and omitted the butter and decreased the vegetable oil for a healthier result.Homemade samosa wrappers are seriously delicious! You can fill them with whatever you want. If you use ground meat, it will harden just a bit when cooled so it's easy to work with.If you don't want to use oil in the wrappers, I recommend this recipe -. They are gyoza skins made with egg but will still be crispy when fried. For 8 samosas. Recipe by Kuminchan

Apple Pie Samosa Apple Pie Samosa
I was making apple pie before, and having some left over of apple pie filling. So, I came up with this idea, instead of making another apple pie, I used spring roll skin to make samosa using the apple pie filling, wrapped it, and deep fried it. I put icing sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon for dusting the samosa. 😘😘😘For the apple pie filling I used Laura Vitale recipe. 😘😘😘Here is the link about how to wrap the samosa:https://youtu.be/7qEza-dFMpI

Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya Mishti Singara: Sweet Samosas Stuffed with Kheer and Khoya
While traditional samosa or singara (that's what we Bengalis call it) are filled with a spicy potato filling, this one comes with a sweet filling made of reduced milk, milk solids and semolina, laced in sticky sugar syrup. The filling can also be made of chhana or cottage cheese, but I like the kheer version more.The given proportion yields around 40 small samosas or 30 large ones.See more on my blog post here: http://www.allthatsdelicious.com/mishti-singara-recipe
