E’s Samosa Wraps

These vegan samosa wraps consist of a delicious filling of tofu, tomatoes, peas, and potatoes wrapped in a whole-wheat tortilla.

Low-Fat Vegan Samosa Wraps Recipe

Like a lot of 12-year olds, my daughter E is hesitant to try new foods—and when I say hesitant, I mean she has to be bribed, threatened, or otherwise coerced into trying them.

So when I recently picked up a couple of Amy’s Samosa Wraps because they were on sale, I hoped to get her to try them for a change from her usual lunches, but I figured that if she didn’t like them, my husband would eat them.

As they say, be careful what you wish for. Not only did she try them, she loved them so much that she wanted to eat them every day.

As far as processed foods go, Amy’s wraps are, nutritionally, not so terrible, and when they’re on sale, the price is not bad (I got two for $5.00). But I don’t want E eating any one food every day, so when the current stash of on-sale Amy’s Samosas is depleted, she’ll have to go back to eating “boring food” for lunch.

The ingredients listed on the Amy’s wrapper looked fairly simple—potatoes, wheat flour, tomatoes, onions, peas, tofu, oil, and spices—so I decided to make a copy-cat version that maybe I could get E to enjoy as much as the original. The one major change I made in E’s samosa wraps (besides leaving out the oil) was using frozen tofu instead of fresh.

Samosa Wraps

As you know, freezing tofu gives it a spongy, chewy texture, and I thought it would help the wraps hold up better and not be mushy. Well, it turns out that E likes the mushier texture of Amy’s samosa filling. She describes the tofu as “more like scrambled tofu” and missed that quality in my homemade version. She also wasn’t a fan of the Ezekiel tortilla that I used in the first wrap I made (pictured in the photos) but she promised to try it again in a “normal” wrap.

In the end, she gave my attempt “4 out of 5 crumbs” on her Num-Crumb Scale, and I’m hoping that if I use mashed tofu in my next attempt, she’ll give me that 5th crumb!

E’s Samosa Wraps

You can make this with crumbled, non-frozen tofu but you may not need much or any water. Or, if you’re avoiding soy products, double the amount of potatoes and leave the tofu out altogether. This mixture would also be good stuffed into a pita or rolled into a homemade chapati.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound red or gold potatoes (about 2 medium) (450 g)
  • 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, frozen for 24 hours and thawed (390 g)
  • 1 medium onion minced
  • 1 cup frozen green peas (236 ml)
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 1/2-1 jalapeno pepper stemmed, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2-3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 6 whole-grain tortillas (may use gluten-free)

Instructions

  • Cook the potatoes, unpeeled, in boiling water until they’re tender (pierce easily with a fork). Remove from water and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (6mm).
  • Squeeze tofu to remove as much water as possible. Cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • Heat a deep non-stick skillet and add the onion. Cook on medium-high until onion begins to brown. Add peas, tomato, ginger, jalapeno pepper, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring, until peas thaw.
  • Add potatoes and tofu to skillet along with 1/2 cup water, salt, curry powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne, and lemon juice. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Remove cover and cook until most liquid has evaporated. Check to see if more salt or lemon is needed.
  • Warm tortillas according package directions. Place 1/6 of filling in center of wrap, fold bottom edge up, and fold sides over filling. Serve with mango chutney, if desired.

    Hi, I enjoy many of your recipes and this is one of my favorite. I make Thai food sometimes and use yellow Thai curry paste in place of curry powder. Like another poster, I double the spices!

    I made these delicious wraps, replacing the tofu with chickpeas (virtually eliminating this recipe’s fat content) and adding a couple cloves of garlic and a teaspoon of turmeric. SOO good! Low-fat and McDougall-Legal!

    I’m about to make this recipe and was curious… You boil the potatoes whole? I’ve never done that before and it seems like it would take forever. My potatoes (gold) are approx. 9″ 0r 10″ in diameter (I measured :). Just want to be clear that that is how you cooked them. Thank you.

      Hi Sherry, yes I boiled them whole, but I’m pretty sure mine weren’t as large as yours. If you want, you can cut them in half so that they’ll cook more quickly.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I have been searching for an easy vegan Indian recipe that is healthy and delicious. This recipe is one of my all time favorites. I discovered it a few months ago, and have made it several times. I serve it with a rice recipe that I swear by: Combine 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice, 1/2 slightly heaping cup smoked basmati rice, 1 pinch of salt, and 3 1/2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low, until rice is cooked. =) I love this rice with your Eggplant Creole recipe, as well. Thanks again!

    I love those Amy’s Samosa Wraps, too, but yes, pricey! So I’ll be delighted to try these, both ways…hmmmm…I have some tofu in the cabinet I was just saying I needed to use up! Thank you!

    I just made the filling and it’s delicious! I’m not eating potatoes anymore and didn’t have any tofu, so I used about 2 1/2 cups of cooked garbanzo beans and wrapped the filling in romaine leaves as my lunch. The only peas I had were in a frozen bag of peas and carrots so I used that. Next time will definitely add shredded fresh carrots.

    This filling will also make a great dish without any wrap around it, maybe just served with rice. I can also see putting this on top of a green salad as a topping. Great recipe!

    This is quick (I microwaved the taters), easy and DELICIOUS. Although I can’t believe I’m making curry when it’s 110 degrees here in Arizona, the recipe made several wraps stored in fridge and they are great cold!! Especially dipped in plain non-dairy yogurt. Used what I had on hand: chickpeas instead of tofu, and a few Tbsp canned diced tomatoes. Also added diced carrots. Thanks for a terrific recipe with grab-n-go convenience. Happy summer 🙂

    Excellent filling. To make a more crusty version, I tried using phyllo dough for the wrapper. (Cut a phyllo sheet into 4 quarters; place cooled filling on each quarter-sheet; and fold into a samosa shape. Bake on parchment paper 375-400 degrees for 15 minutes; flip and bake additional 10 minutes. The leftovers keep well and can be eaten cold or re-heated.) Love your website and your recipes!

    I am so grateful for this recipe because I love Amy’s Samosa wraps and this tastes almost identical! I made the mistake of adding the entire teaspoon of salt when I should have gone gradually since it was a little salty for me. Super yummy, though A+!

    I love this recipe! I’ve been making it for years and it’s become one of my staples. I usually use sweet potatoes instead of red or golden, and usually a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. I recently bought one of those Amy’s samosa wraps for the first time, and after eating this it was a disappointment! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I have been making this recipe for over 10 years. It’s awesome, Amy’s wraps never made an impression on me but these are delicious. I never remove the seeds from the chile and taste it before adding cayenne. I use wheat tortillas because they’re easy to find..

    Family favorite. We wrap them in Nasoya eggroll wraps (non-fat, vegan) and airfry them for about 10 minutes @375 degrees. Delicious!

    You know that “RUN DO NOT WALK” thing when it comes to books and movies? This is a RUN DO NOT WALK thing for recipes!!! Best thing we ate all week!! Took almost no time or effort. Absolutely delicious and I used the max on jalapeños and cayenne so quite the kick!! Tamed it with a bit of pure maple syrup drizzled on every other bite for a sweet hot mix. Would be delicious with rice for those not wanting tortillas or wraps.
