Time 8h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup dried brown lentils
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 yam, peeled and sliced
½ cup water
¼ cup coconut milk
6 dried apricots, chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 (16 ounce) package samosa pastry (egg roll wrappers)

Steps:

  • Place lentils into a bowl and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add curry powder, cardamom, ginger, cumin, and cayenne pepper; stir to coat. Mix lentils, yam, water, and coconut milk into onion mixture; cook and stir over low heat until liquid is mostly reduced and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove wok from heat and lightly mash mixture.
  • Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons lentil mixture into the center of each pastry; fold pastry over filling creating a triangle. Fold edges into the triangle to seal. Arrange samosas on a baking sheet and brush remaining olive oil over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

These samosas were a bit too bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough spices.

These samosas were a bit too oily for my taste, but they still tasted good.

I used a store-bought samosa dough to save time, and it worked out great.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but these samosas were really good! The flavors all worked well together.

These samosas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly and the samosas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
