Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Olive oil
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled & diced
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- Pinch sea salt & pepper
- Small handful coriander
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- Juice ½ small lemon
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds

- Raita
- 200g natural yoghurt
- Small handful mint, finely chopped
- Juice ½ small lemon
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line baking tray with baking paper.
- Cook onion and garlic in frying pan over medium heat with a little olive oil for 3 mins.
- Add sweet potato, carrot, peas, curry powder and salt and pepper and cook for around 5 mins. Stir through coriander, mango chutney and lemon juice and cook for a further 2 mins, until sweet potato is cooked through. Gently mash mixture so it still has plenty of lumpy bits.
- Lay 1 sheet filo pastry out on dry chopping board, brush with olive oil then lay another layer of filo on top. Cut into quarters then fill centre of each with 2 tbsp mixture. Fold filo over to make triangle and press down edges. Brush tops with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place triangles on baking tray and bake for 30 mins, or until golden-brown.
- To make raita simply mix ingredients in small bowl until well combined.
- Samosas are delicious served warm with small bowls of raita and mango chutney.
