Aloo pie

An aloo pie is a Caribbean fast food dish common in Trinidad and Tobago and is of Indo-Trinidadian origin. It is a pastry filled with seasoned mashed potatoes and then fried. It is similar to a samosa, but at 10–15 centimetres (4–6 in) in length it is significantly larger, and it does not have a triangular basic shape, instead resembling a Cornish pasty. The dough consists of flour, water, salt, baking powder and if necessary some saffron for the color. Seasonings and ingredients used in the mashed potatoes include salt, pepper, onion, cumin, and garlic, and occasionally green seasoning and long coriander (chadon beni). As a rule, the dumplings are cut open before serving and garnished with a curry based on chickpeas or green peas. It is seasoned with a chutney (usually based on tamarind or mango), chadon beni and a spicy pepper sauce. Aloo is a Hindi word meaning potato.
