Looking for a way to spice up your midweek dinner? If you love Indian inspired flavours as much as we do, you’re going to be obsessed with this Samosa Pie!
Hearty, healthy and delicious, it’s packed with veggies and bursting with fragrant flavours. Similar to the vegetable samosas that you can get from the takeaway, this pie has a filling made from potatoes, carrots, peas and onions, cooked in a tasty blend of spices.
Traditional samosas are deep fried to give the pastry a lovely crunch, although this also ramps up the calories. Instead, we’ve used light filo pastry and baked the whole thing in the oven – you’ll get that satisfying crispy bite, for only 272 calories per serving.
Making one big pie rather than individual portions means this Samosa Pie is so versatile! It looks impressive served up on the dinner table as a welcome change to your usual pie – or why not slice it into smaller pieces and serve as a side dish for Fakeaway night? The flavours will perfectly complement your favourite curry!
What diets is this Samosa Pie suitable for?
This Samosa Pie can be enjoyed on vegan, vegetarian and dairy free diets. This recipe can also be made gluten free as long as you check that the filo pastry you are using is gluten free.
As always, take extra care when cooking for people with allergies and be sure to use different utensils, cookware and preparation areas.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Samosa Pie?
Nope! All the ingredients you need should be easy to find in your usual supermarket. You will need a pie dish or oven dish to make this recipe. We’d recommend using a 24cm dish.

This Samosa Pie is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place the potatoes in a small saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil then lower the heat and cook for 6 minutes or until soft. Drain and leave to one side.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Fry the onion for 4 minutes, then add the ginger and garlic and fry for a further minute.
Step 3
Add the spices, carrot and cauliflower and give the pan a stir, coating the vegetables in the spices. Add the boiling water, lime juice and tomato puree and lower to a simmer.
Step 4
Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the carrots are soft and the liquid has reduced. Stir in the potatoes and peas and leave the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 5
Spray a pie dish with low calorie cooking spray. Cut the filo sheets in half and layer 4 halves on top of each other in the bottom of the dish.
Step 6
Spoon the vegetable mixture into the pie dish and flatten the top.
Step 7
Scrunch the remaining filo sheets on top of the vegetable filling to cover completely. Spray with a little low calorie cooking spray and place in the oven for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
What could I serve with this Samosa Pie?
This Samosa Pie is hearty enough to be a meal on its own, but we also love to serve up smaller slices as part of an Indian themed Fakeaway feast. Why not try serving it alongside these other delicious dishes?
How do you know when Samosa Pie is cooked?
You should cook this Samosa Pie in the oven until the filo pastry topping has turned crispy and lightly golden. This should take around 20 minutes.
To keep your family safe, the advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and maintained that temperature for 2 minutes.
How long can you keep Samosa Pie in the fridge?
We’d recommend that you eat this recipe within 4 hours of serving it.
If you have any leftovers, allow them to cool before popping them in a container with a lid and refrigerating. Leftovers of this Samosa Pie can be kept in the fridge for around 3 days.
Can I freeze Samosa Pie?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
