Ingredients

Pie Crust

Mixed Vegetables

Think peas, carrots, and potatoes, all diced and sautéed together to create a filling that’s both hearty and comforting.

Onion & Garlic

Sautéed onion and garlic are essential to building the rich base of flavor for this pie. The sweetness of the onion and the depth of garlic work together beautifully.

Ginger & Spices

Fresh ginger adds a touch of zing, while spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala provide that signature samosa flavor that everyone loves.

Cilantro & Lemon Juice

Fresh cilantro adds a burst of brightness, and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end really brings the filling together and gives it a pop of freshness.

Oil or Ghee

You’ll need some oil or ghee for sautéing the vegetables and spices to develop that deep, flavorful base.

Instructions

Let’s get started on making this Vegetable Samosa Pie!

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Start by heating oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant. Then, stir in the ginger and spices—cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the spices become aromatic.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Add the mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and potatoes) to the pan. Stir well to coat the veggies with the spices. Add a little water if necessary, cover the pan, and let the vegetables cook until tender—about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice at the end.

Step 3: Prepare the Pie Crust

While the filling is cooking, prepare your pie crust. If you’re using store-bought crust, roll it out and line a pie dish with one layer. If you prefer homemade crust, roll out the dough and line your pie dish, making sure to press it gently into the edges.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

Once your filling has cooled slightly, spoon it into the prepared pie crust. Spread it out evenly, making sure there are no gaps. If you have leftover dough, you can cover the top with another layer of pie crust or create a lattice design. Seal the edges by pressing the dough together and crimping with a fork.

Step 5: Bake the Pie

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled pie in the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It’s perfect on its own or served with a side of yogurt or chutney to complement the spices. Enjoy!

How to Serve Vegetable Samosa Pie

With Yogurt or Raita

Pair this flavorful pie with a dollop of cool yogurt or raita on the side. The creaminess of the yogurt balances the spices and adds a refreshing element to each bite.

A simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette will complement the savory, rich filling of the pie. The lightness of the salad is the perfect contrast to the richness of the samosa flavors.
