Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 potato about 1 lb, 500-550 g
  • 2/3 cup pea
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
  • 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 cilantro chopped, fresh; aka coriander

To assemble and fry:

  • empanada wrappers 12 oz or 360g, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 tbp water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil unless air frying, see notes

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice potatoes, and boil until tender (20 minutes or so). Drain and mash.
  2. 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.
  3. To the mashed potatoes, add the chili sauce, sautéed ginger and spices, salt, coriander, lemon juice, and peas. Mix well to combine.
  4. Fill each empanada or sambosa wrappers with a generous tablespoon of potato filling, and seal dough with a little flour/water paste.
  5. 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.
