Ingredients
- 2 potatoes, diced into small squares
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon chilli
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 8 sheets filo pastry
- Low-fat milk
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
- Cook potato in a little water in the microwave until tender, about 6 minutes. Very lightly mash the potatoes with a fork so that the potato is broken up.
- Cook onion and garlic in a non-stick frying pan with a dash of oil until the onion is opaque. Add spices and fry for two minutes.
- Add the potato and peas to the pan and mix through. Cook until peas are defrosted.
- Make a layer of four sheets of filo, brushing lightly in between each sheet with milk. Cut the filo in half lengthways to make a long thin strip. Put a spoonful of mixture in the corner of each strip. Fold over once to make a triangle. Then fold in the opposite direction keeping the triangle shape. Continue to fold up the strip of filo until you reach the end.
- Brush the top of each triangle lightly with milk and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
