Aloo pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An aloo pie is a variant of the samosa popular in Trinidad and Tobago.[1] It is a soft, fried pastry made from flour and water, and filled with boiled, spiced and mashed potatoes and other vegetables like green peas. Its shape is similar to a calzone, and it is usually larger than a samosa, approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) long.[2] It is usually ordered with a sweet and sour type Indian dipping sauce known as "imli ki chutney".

Aloo is a romanization of the Hindi word for "potato".
