Easy Baked Indian Samosas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
    1/4 cup oil
    2 small onions, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons coriander seed
    1 tablespoon curry powder
    1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 roma (plum) tomatoes, finely chopped
    1/2 cup frozen peas
    4 prepared pie crusts
    2 egg whites, beaten, or as needed
Preparation
    Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a bowl; coarsely mash.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions, coriander seed, curry powder, ginger, salt, turmeric, cumin, allspice, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon until onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir tomatoes and peas into onion mixture; pour into mashed potatoes and thoroughly mix. Cool completely.
    Cut each pie crust into 8 even triangles. Spoon filling onto the wide end of each triangle; fold corners over filling creating a triangular 'hat' shape. Pinch the dough together to form a seal. Brush egg white over each samosa and arrange on a baking sheet.
    Bake in the preheated oven until samosas are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
