Ingredients
- 4 potatoes about 1 lb, 500-550 g
- 2/3 cup peas
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce, or a pinch of red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon masala spice
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- squeeze lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
To assemble and fry:
- thawed empanada wrappers 12 oz or 360g
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 tbp water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil unless air frying, see notes
Instructions
- Peel and dice potatoes, and boil until tender (20 minutes or so). Drain and mash.
- Add the olive oil to a skillet, and sauté the ginger for a minute or so until fragrant, add all the spices and sauté another 30 seconds. Set aside.
- To the mashed potatoes, add the chili sauce, sautéed ginger and spices, salt, coriander, lemon juice, and peas. Mix well to combine.
- Fill each empanada or sambosa wrappers with a generous tablespoon of potato filling, and seal dough with a little flour/water paste.
- Fry in hot vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes a side until golden brown.
Notes
- To make these in an Air Fryer:
- Preheat Air Fryer to 370 F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray fryer basket with vegetable oil spray, then add empanadas to fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil and fry for 7-8 minutes, then turn over and fry another 6 minutes or until golden brown.
- To oven bake these:
- Bake in a 350 F hot oven (180C) for 15 minutes until golden brown. They will catch a better color if you lightly brush them with an egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) before going in the oven.
- To Freeze: Freeze raw or fried for 3-4 months in a tightly sealed freezer bag. My preference is to freeze them raw, and cook directly from frozen. Just flash freeze empanadas in a single layer on a baking sheet until hard, then you can place them in the freezer bag together without them sticking.
