Samosas made with slightly sprouted brown lentils, dried apricot, yam, onion, coconut milk, and some spice. Serve hot. My 2-year-old boy loves them!

Ingredients | Filo Pastry Samosas Video

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 (Optional)

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)

Directions

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.
