Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
1 potato peeled and cubed
1 carrot peeled and cubed
1 parsnip peeled and cubed
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon curry paste medium
1 lemon peel grated and lemon juiced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
4 sheets phyllo dough
3 tablespoons butter melted
oil for shallow frying
mango chutney to serve

Directions

1

Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onion; cook for 5 mins, stirring until golden. Add the garlic, potato, carrot, parsnip and peas. Cook for 3 mins.
2

Add the curry paste, lemon peel and juice and 2/3 cup water. Add a pinch of salt. Cover and simmer for 10-15 mins or until the vegetables are just tender. Stir in the cilantro. Cool.
3

Unroll the phyllo dough. Cut stack of sheets in half crosswise for a total of eight 14 x 4 inch rectangles. For each samosa, brush a rectangle with butter; place a spoonful of vegetables at one end. Bring a corner diagonally across the filling to enclose it and form a triangle. Repeat, folding over the phyllo around the filling and brushing with butter as required. Repeat to make 8 samosas.

Heat oil in the large skillet on medium heat. Add samosas, 4 at a time; cook for 3-4 mins, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature with mango chutney.
