These spicy vegetable samosas are traditionally deep-fat-fried.
In this recipe, the
triangle-shaped parcels
are baked in the oven.
This recipe makes
12-14 samosas.
HOW TO MAKE IT
1. Gently fry the onions in the pan with the oil until they are golden. Add the spices (and chilli, if using) and continue to cook gently for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the part-boiled potato and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir, then place the lid on the pan and continue to cook slowly for 5-6 minutes. Allow to cool.
3. Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Cut or fold a filo pastry sheet into a rectangle 8-10cm wide. Brush the pastry with a little oil.
4. Place a dessertspoon of the cooled vegetable filling at the end of the pastry strip closest
to you. Fold the pastry over in
triangles, encasing in the filling.
5. Seal the ends of the parcel
with a brush of oil. Place each
samosa on the baking sheet and
brush them lightly with
oil all over. Bake for 10-20
minutes until golden-brown.
