Seaweed Samosas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried seaweed
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 sheets of phyllo pastry
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried seaweed in water for 10 minutes, then drain and chop it finely.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chopped seaweed, mashed potatoes, onion, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric, and salt until well combined.
  3. Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with vegetable oil.
  4. Place a spoonful of the seaweed-potato mixture at one corner of the pastry sheet, then fold the pastry over to form a triangle. Continue folding the pastry in a triangle shape until the entire sheet is used up, sealing the edges with a little water.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat, then fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Remove the samosas from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve the seaweed samosas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
