Potato and Pea Samosas

Prep time: 30min Cook time: 15min Ready in: 45min Serves : 12

Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
¼ cup frozen peas
2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tbsp curry powder 
Juice of ½ lemon
2 bird’s eye chillies, crushed 
Salt, to taste
1kg potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
½ bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1 packet ready-made filo pastry Oil spray

Method
1. Heat the oil in a frypan and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the peas, spices, lemon juice, chilli, and salt and cook for a few more minutes.
2. Add the potatoes and coriander and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Unroll the filo pastry and peel off 1 layer, keeping the rest covered with a tea towel so it does not dry out. Lay the pastry sheet flat on a clean surface and spray with oil. Fold in one third of the pastry lengthways towards the middle. Spray again with oil and fold in the other side to make a long triple-layered strip.
4. Place a spoonful of the filling at one end of the pastry, fold the pastry with the filling to form a triangle. Fold again to enclose the triangle and create more layers. Keep folding in this way until you reach the end of the strip of pastry.
5. Preheat the Air Chef to 180°C.
6. Place the samosas in the Air Chef basket and fry for 15 minutes, or until golden.
