Ingredients:  

  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon hot curry powder
  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 8 sheets of phyllo pastry
Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425oF. Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for 10-12 minutes until just tender. Drain well.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion, chili and curry paste for 2-3 minutes. Add the potatoes and peas and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, mashing down lightly with a fork. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice.

  3. Work with 1 sheet of pastry at a time, keeping the rest covered with a damp cloth. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to give 2 long strips. Fold a strip in half lengthwise. Put a spoon of the mixture in one corner of strip.

  4. Fold pastry and filling over at right angles to make a triangle and continue folding in this way along the strip of the pastry to form a neat triangular parcel. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  5. Place on a baking sheet and brush with a little extra oil.
