Samosas

Samosas are triangular shaped and are filled with vegetables.
Ingredients

Peel the potatoes and carrots and boil them for 5 minutes - part cooked. Drain them and when they have cooled dice them.
Place all the vegetables in a bowl, adding the ghee, turmeric, salt, garam masala and peas. Mix them well together.
Lay out a sheet of filo pastry and brush half the strip with oil. Fold it in two, longways and brush one sorner with oil.
Put two teaspoons of the vegetable mixture on the oiled end of the pastry and fold the pastry diagonally, making a triangle.
Fold the triangle over and over until all the pastry is used up.
Put the samosas on an oiled baking tray, brush the tops with oil and bake them for 20 to 30 minutes in the oven at Gas Mark 5 (190°C)
