An aloo pie is a variant of the samosa popular in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a soft fried pastry made from flour and water and filled with boiled spiced and mashed potatoes (aloo being the Hindi word for potato) and other vegetables like green peas or chana dal (split chickpeas without their seedcoat). Its shape is similar to a calzone and it is usually larger than a samosa approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) long.
