Ingredients

2cups mung beans cookedUse the instant pot on manual mode for 14 minutes, you can also make on the stove top
1cup steamed cauliflowerUse the instant pot on steam mode for 3 minutes, again you can use the stove top
1/2 red onion red onion, diced
2tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2tsp salt
1tsp garam masala
1/2tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
juice of 1/2 a lemon
Spring roll sheetsUse 8″ square spring roll sheets ( I use TYJ) cut the square into thirds
1tbsp flour of choice
1/2 tbsp water

Instructions

Samosa filling

In a medium bowl, mash the cauliflower with a potato masher. Add in the cooked mung beans.
Add the chopped onion and stir in the cilantro and lemon juice.
Add in the dry spices. Mix well and taste and adjust the spices if necessary.

Folding the Samosa

In a small bowl, mix the flour and water to make a paste, the paste should not be too thick – you may need to adjust the water to reach the desired consistency.
For the spring roll sheets, cut the large square into thirds. Make sure to cover the remaining spring roll sheets with a towel to prevent them from drying.
Take one strip and fold it over into a diagonal. Make sure the tip of the samosa shell has no air pockets. Flip it over again so it is now a cone shape. Again, adjust the samosa shell so no air pockets are showing. Please refer to the video to see how this is done.
Fill with 2-3 tbsp of the mung and cauliflower filling. Fold over the flaps and seal with the water and flour paste.
Once samosas have been folded, brush each side with a bit of olive oil and use an air fryer to bake them for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 375 for 15 minutes and flip them and bake again for another 10 – you may need to adjust the time to reach the desired colour.
Enjoy with coconut chutney or tamarind sauce!
