Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Samosa Pie
- In an Instant Pot, heat oil on the sauté setting. Add cumin seeds and coriander seeds, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in chopped red onion, diced green chili, and cashews; sauté until the onion softens, around 5 minutes.
- Mix in ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne, and minced ginger.
- Add cubed potatoes and water, sealing the lid and cooking on high pressure for 5-6 minutes.
- Release pressure naturally and mash some potatoes before stirring in peas, chopped cilantro, chopped mint, and lemon juice.
- Adjust seasoning and cool.
- While the filling cools, preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and prepare the vegan puff pastry.
- Roll out the thawed pastry until it's about ¼ inch thick, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Transfer one sheet of the pastry onto the baking sheet, leaving enough overhang.
- Spoon the cooled vegan samosa filling onto one half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges and cut a few small slits in the top of the pastry.
- Brush the top with a bit of oil or non-dairy milk.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and flaky.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve warm with your favorite chutney.

Notes
For best results, allow the filling to cool before assembling to prevent a soggy pie. Serve warm for optimal flavor.
