Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Samosa Pie
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of ghee or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced onion and sauté for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become golden and caramelized.
  2. Once the onions are golden, toss in 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground chicken or turkey, along with 1 teaspoon of garam masala, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, and salt to taste. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 2 diced potatoes and 1 cup of water to the mixture, stirring to combine. Cover and let it simmer for approximately 25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Mix in 1 cup of green peas and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro. Stir well and adjust seasoning if needed. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Transfer the filling to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Roll out your puff pastry to cover the filling, ensuring it fits snugly over the edges.
  7. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the prepared Samosa Pie in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
