Forgotten beauty

samosa

At the back of the shelf in the refrigerator I found the filo pastry, honestly I can not remember when I bought it.  The problem with filo pastry is that you can hardly use it all in one go, because the sheets are so many! I was very happy to find it  and even happier to find that the sheets were still soft, meaning it was o.k  to eat. I then used the vegetables I had at home, those who already had lost their beauty ,because they’d  been forgotten at the bottom of  the basket…do you know the ones? So  at the end  after all this recycling, these wonderful samosas came out with zero cost. That’s the beauty of the kitchen, there are no limits, everything is possible. 

Ingredients
1 potato
1 carrot chopped
1 red onion chopped
150 grams peas
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 long fresh green chili, chopped
1 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ cup chopped fresh coriander leaves 
How it works:
Boil the potato until just tender, drain. Cool then cut the potato into 1 cm pieces. Heat oil in the pan, cook onions, carrots, peas. Stirring until soft. Add seeds, chili, garlic, ginger and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, until fragrant. Remove from heat and add coriander and lime juice. Use two sheets of filo pastry and divide into 4-strips each sheet in the direction of the length. With a brush or your finger anoint with oil the first cut sheet. With a teaspoon take the mixture of vegetable and place it at the top left – middle of your sheet at this point start to make the first triangle and begin to fold, forming a triangle, continue until the sheet   is finished. Bake in then in the oven (using baking paper) at 180 degrees . As They Become golden, remove and serve.
