Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F .
To make filling, heat cooking oil in skillet over medium-high heat and brown pork - sautee the mushroom in butter, as a substitute.
Add curry masala or curry powder, salt, and chopped carrots, potato and bell pepper, and stir until vegetables begin to soften.
Turn off the heat and set aside.
Spray or brush a non-stick cookie sheet with some oil.
Unroll the Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough and cut along perforations with a pizza cutter to create triangular shapes.
Lay one piece of dough on the cookie sheet and place some of the filling in the center of the dough.
Brush edges of the dough with egg wash.
Cover with another piece of dough and gently press down on edges to seal. For a flourish, you can fold the thinnest point of the triangle of dough back on itself (see photos).
Repeat process until you’ve used all of the dough.
Brush some egg wash on the tops of the sealed somosas.
Place in oven and bake 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Serve hot or at room temperature with pear compote.
