Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add in cubed vegan butter and, using a pastry blender or by hand, blend until crumbly. Gradually add in ice-cold water while mixing until it forms a dough. Make a ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: The Filling

Place the diced potatoes in a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and then set aside.
Warm up some vegetable oil in a big skillet set to medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Wait until they start popping.
Add chopped onion, garlic, ginger. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala, ground cumin, and chili powder. Let cook for one minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the boiled potatoes and frozen peas; cook 5-7 minutes; slightly smash the potatoes, stirring on occasion. Season with salt to taste. Let cool off the heat.

Step 3: Pie assembly

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Roll half the cold dough out to fit your pie dish. Place in the dish, pressing it into the edges.
Fill crust with cooled filling from the samosa, spreading out evenly.
Roll out remaining dough and place over the filling. Trim excess dough between the two pieces of dough; crimp edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam out of the pie.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

Let pie cool for only a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your favorite chutney or vegan raita.
