Lamb Samosa


I've impressed many people with my lamb samosa's. This one has been made with puff pastry although I've done if with filo pastry too. You will need:
1 tbsp oil
1 garlic clove
175g minced lamb
4 spring onions
2 tsp curry paste
1 potato diced
2tsp apricot chutney
2tbsp frozen peas
lemon juice
chopped coriander
Straight forward to do this, heat the oil in a pan then add the garlic and mince. Cook for 5 mins then add the spring onions, curry paste and potato's and cook for 2 mins. Add the chutney, frozen peas and a couple of tablespoons of water then cover and simmer for 10 mins. Stir in a dash of lemon juice, coriander and season. remove from heat and leave to cool. Roll out the pastry and cut into squares. Place the cooked ingredients into the middle and fold over to make a triangle. Brush with beaten egg and if you want (as I have here) sprinkle with cumin seeds. Place on a baking sheet and cook in oven for 20 mins. Perhaps I should have said at the start, preheat oven to 220 degrees centigrade! Once done, sit back and sample your handy work. If it tastes good eat them all yourself, if not, give it to your neighbours as a present.
