Ingredients
1 large onion, chopped
4 tbsp sunflower oil
1 level tsp ground coriander
1 level tsp ground cumin
1 level tsp turmeric
1 tsp crushed chillies
350g pumpkin (or butternut squash) weighed without seeds and skin, diced
200g sweet potato, peeled weight, diced
270g pack filo pastry, defrosted if frozen
Method
1
Cook the onion in half the oil until soft but not coloured. Add the spices and stir over a low heat for 1 minute.
2
Add the pumpkin and sweet potato and stir to coat the pieces. Add 200ml water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender.
3
Remove lid and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Cool and season.
4
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Cut each sheet of pastry in half to make two long strips. Put one on a work surface and brush lightly with oil. Keep the rest covered with a clean, damp tea towel so that it doesn’t dry out.
5
Put 2 tbsp of pumpkin mixture at one end and fold over the corner to make a triangle. Then fold over again in the opposite direction. Continue folding until all the pastry is used. Put on a baking tray and brush with oil
6
Repeat using the rest of the pastry and filling to make another 11 samosas.
7
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Serve hot or cold.
