Potato stuffing for Sambosa
August 15, 2010 by lamyaalmas
This is a delicious stuffing for your Samboosa this Ramadhan. It is very easy to make. I made enough to stuff 60 sambosa (depending on the size of course, I usually make mine small) :
1) 4 big potatoes, boiled with skin on and peeled (make sure you don’t boil them to such a degree that they fall apart–you want to be able to cut them into cubes)
2) 1 -2 cups of frozen peas–thawed
3) 1 big onion finely chopped
4) 2 tblsp of Olive or Canola oil
5) 1 tsp of fresh ginger, grated
6) 1 finely chopped green chilly pepper (optional)
7) 1/2 tsp of mustard seeds (optional)
8) 1/2 bunch of Cilantro finely chopped
9) 2 tsp of ground cumin (more of you like)
10) 2 tsp of ground coriander
11) 1/4 tsp of tumeric
12) salt to taste
13) juice of half a lemon
14) garlic is optional (if you will be going to the Masjed for Taraweeh I would recommend that you don’t add it)
In a big frying pan, under medium heat, add the oil and onions. Sautee the onions until golden brown–then add the ginger, mustard seeds and saute’ for a couple of minutes. Then add the peas, and the cilantro and let cook for another minute or two. Then add the spices–cumin, coriander and tumeric and cook for another minute. Add the potatoes and mix well. Finally add the lemon juice, salt to taste and leave on for another 2 minutes–make sure it does not burn, gently toss with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat. Let cool before you stuff your sambosa.
Optional: sprinkle some finely chopped cilantro before stuffing. Adds color, freshness, and flavor.

If you were to add garlic, how much and when would it be added to the recipe?
I usually don’t add garlic to my stuffing because over time garlic can become pungent. But if you were adding fresh garlic i would add it with the onion. If powdered then with the spices.
