This dish uses leftover mashed potatoes in a big batch of Indian-inspired snacks—good for parties. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh mint leaves |
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded jalapeño pepper |
1 teaspoon chopped garlic |
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2/3 cup shredded carrot |
2/3 cup frozen green peas, thawed |
2 teaspoons mustard seeds |
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes |
8 (14 x 9-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare chutney, combine first 8 ingredients in a food processor; process 1 minute or until smooth. Spoon mixture into a bowl; cover and refrigerate.
3. To prepare samosas, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion to pan, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrot, and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peas, mustard seeds, garam masala, and salt; cover and cook 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes; remove from heat.
4. Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, cut each sheet lengthwise into 3 (3 x 14-inch) strips, and coat with cooking spray. (Cover remaining phyllo dough to keep from drying.) Spoon 1 tablespoon potato mixture onto 1 end of each strip. Fold 1 corner of phyllo dough over mixture, forming a triangle; keep folding back and forth into a triangle to end of strip. Place triangles, seam sides down, on a baking sheet. Brush triangles with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake at 350° for 23 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature with chutney.
