Cook: 25-30mins
Ingredients: For the Samosas – 1 pack of ready made filo pastry, 1 medium sized potato, small can of sweetcorn, 1 medium sized onion, 1 tbsp olive oil, (plus a little more for putting your samosas together), 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds, 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds, small bunch of chopped coriander.

Method
1. Peel your potato and cut into small chunks and boil for 8mins
2. Peel and thinly slice the onion and fry in the olive oil with the dried spices on a medium heat for 5mins
3. Add your cooked potato, sweetcorn and chopped coriander to the onion and spice mixture and cook for 2mins more to ensure all ingredients are covered in the onion and spice mix
4. Turn off the heat and leave to one side to cool
5. Preheat your oven to 180f
6. While you are waiting for the mixture to cool make the Pea Raita by combining all ingredients and giving it a good blitz in a food processor, pop in the fridge until ready to serve with your samosas
7. Now make your samosas, check out the video here https://youtu.be/09Upx-kVIvQ that shows an easy way to roll the pastry, I used a little olive oil to brush at the end to hold all in place and a little over the top before popping them in the oven
8. Pop in the oven for 25- 30 minutes until golden
9. Serve with the Pea Riata
10. Enjoy!
