Samosa pie
Description
Samosa pie features a savory filling made by browning lamb mince with chopped onion, then adding grated sweet potato, garlic, ginger, curry powder, tomato paste, and flour to create a thickened mixture. Beef stock is added and simmered until the sweet potato softens, followed by stirring in frozen peas, fresh coriander, and lemon juice for brightness. The filling is seasoned with salt and black pepper.
This spiced meat and vegetable mixture is transferred to a pie dish, topped with sheets of filo pastry brushed with oil and sprinkled with cumin seeds. Baking the assembled dish produces a crispy, golden pastry crust that contrasts the tender, flavorful filling underneath.
The samosa pie can be served with a salad or alongside simple sides. Leftovers are noted to be good served over a baked potato with a spicy salsa and Greek yogurt, offering a new meal option from the same components.
Ingredients

- 1 onion chopped
- 17.6 ounces lamb mince or beef if you prefer
- 1 sweet potato about 300 grams/10.5 ounces, peeled & grated, medium
- 2 garlic chopped or minced, cloves

- 2 tablespoons curry powder I used a medium-strength powder

- 1/2 lemon juice of a
- salt
- black pepper
- 3 to 4 filo pastry sheets
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180C/355F. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan, then fry the onion for a couple of minutes. Add the lamb mince and brown for about 5 minutes, then add the sweet potato, garlic, ginger, curry powder and tomato paste. Stir well, then sprinkle over the flour and stir again.
- Add the stock to the pan, then cook on a medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the potato has softened, then stir in the peas, coriander and lemon juice. Season well.
- Tip the meat mixture into a medium-sized pie or baking dish, then brush your filo pastry sheets with a little oil and scrunch over the top of the meat (I only needed 3 sheets but use 4 if that’s better for the size of your dish). Finally, sprinkle over the cumin seeds and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the top of the pie is browned and crispy.
Notes
- Using lamb mince gives a richer flavor, but beef mince is an acceptable substitute.
- Leftover samosa pie can be served over baked potatoes with a simple spicy salsa and Greek yogurt for added zest and creaminess.
