A fried potato patty with Indian spices? Yes, please! Easy to make and so delicious! #vegan

These easy to make spiced samosa patties are dairy free and vegan! A delicious twist on a traditional Indian favorite.

Who loves samosas?! Who’s ready for a vegan, gluten free, healthier version of a samosa? I am!

Gluten free and vegan samosa patties - a delicious way to get your Indian food fix at home! #glutenfree

I was thinking about Indian food, and how much I used to LOVE potato and pea samosas. There was a little Indian grocery store across the street from where my mom used to work that sold samosas at lunch time, and I would run over there and get a samosa or two and take them to my mom and we’d have a quick snack. Now that I don’t eat wheat, I can’t eat samosas. They are wrapped in a thick dough, and then deep fried, so I actually have not had a samosa in five years.

I decided that I would make a samosa type filling into patties, and then lightly fry them.  SO GOOD! They tasted so much like the real thing, but were not encased in a heavy dough that soaked up all the grease, so they are a bit healthier. These were easy to make, and Darryl and I gobbled them right up. They basically went from the pan to our mouths. Gone. Just like that. :)

These spiced samosa patties are gluten free and vegan and a tasty and healthy appetizer! #vegan

These are very tasty, a little spicy, vegan, and gluten free. You can make these samosa patties tonight…you probably have all the ingredients already!

Ingredients

  • 3 large Yukon Gold potatoes baked, and skins removed
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder or more to taste
  • ½ cup gluten free flour blend
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus a couple dashes for the gluten free flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, cook the peas and onions in one tablespoon of buttery spread over medium heat until onion softens, about 5 minutes.

  2. Place the baked potatoes with the skin off in a large bowl. Once the peas and onions are cooked, add them to the potatoes. Don't drain the veggies before adding to the potatoes.

  3. Add the curry powder, salt, pepper, and one tablespoon of buttery spread to the potato mixture. Use a potato masher to mash it all up.
  4. Place the gluten free flour and a few dashes of salt in a small bowl, set aside. Line a plate with paper towels.
  5. Heat the remaining tablespoon of buttery spread and the two tablespoons of canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Form the potato mixture into small patties and dredge them in the gluten free flour. Once the oil and buttery spread is sizzling, place a few patties in the pan. Cook until golden brown, about three minutes on each side.
  7. Once they are cooked, place them on the paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining patties.
  8. Serve warm. Makes 8 small patties.

Recipe Notes

These are best enjoyed right away, but they can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

    My daughter sent me a picture of these today and I said these are dinner tonight! You were correct, I had all the ingredients to hand. I boiled the potatoes versus baking them as I was short on time and it seemed to work alright as they were very tasty. Also didn’t add the peas and onion mixture until I mashed the potatoes as I wanted the peas to be whole but other than that followed the recipe. I’ll be serving these to my vegan daughter in the not to distant future. Thanks.

    Great recipe! This is actually quite similar to what is called “Alu ki Tikki” or potato pastie, and not a samosa. Yes it is an alternative to a samosa, but it is not a samosa pattie. Good recipe though, Thanks for sharing.

    Wow. Just made these.absolutely delicious! I soaked 2 tbs of chia seeds in 3 oz water for 5’minutes and added it to the my just to bind everything a bit better. The patties held together beautifully in the pan and everything tasted amazing!

    I made these for my dinner tonight. I’m eating them right now, very flavourful and delicious. I used a bit of chickpea flour in the mashed potato mixture as well as some gluten free flour blend. I didn’t read the instructions thoroughly and mixed it in with the potato, pea and onion mixture, worked just fine! They browned up nicely and held together.

    Hi! This looked delicious so I had to try it! My only problem was that once fried, they really didnt hold their shape at all so couldn’t eat it like a patty, had to use a spoon. Any idea why?

      Hmm, I’m not sure, but maybe the potato was a little too wet, or not enough potato was used?

    As a former samosa lover too, these are fabulous! I actually thought about doing something similar, then wound up doing Indian spiced turkey burgers instead :-) Love this recipe and I think my family will love them too :-)
