Gluten Free Samosas - Yum!!


Tasted  my first Samosas at a little shop off Broadway in Winnipeg.  I was in the store purchasing some ingredients for Kubba around noon and a fellow came in with a large box of hot, fresh Samosas - I just had to try some!  They were delicious!  I wanted to make them gluten free so my husband could have them too so I used my Gluten Free Danish dough recipe that I had developed and found filling recipes online that I modified to suit our tastes.  Our business sells wooden presses for gluten free perogies and pies so I thought I'd use that to form the Samosas - it worked great!


Gluten Free Samosas
Filling:
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 small onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups diced potatoes, cooked
1 1/2 cup cooked peas & carrots
5 teaspoons soy sauce gf
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sambal oelek (or more if you like it hotter)
1 tablespoon water
Saute onion and garlic powder in a little oil until onion is soft.  Add remaining ingredients and stir over midium heat until well mixed.  Cool.
Make pastry according to the Danish Recipe.  Form with a Birds Hill turnover press/perogi press or roll out and cut into circles.  Fill one side, fold and crimp.  Bake at 375 F until golden brown.
