Giant Potato And Cauliflower Filo Samosa
- 900 grams organic potatoes peeled and cubed
- 15 pastry sheets
- 50 milliliters oil or butter
- 1 leak halved and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cauliflower head washed and made into small florets
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 4 spring onions finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 onion finely shredded
- 10 fresh curry leaves
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Himalayan pink salt
- 1-2 green or red chillies optional
- 1/2 teaspoon mixed seeds cumin, mustard, fenugreek and black sesame
- 2 tablespoons mango pickle to serve with
- Chop onion and place into a deeper pan with 1 tbsp oil or butter along with the garlic, seeds and chilli if you choose to use. Cook for 2 min covered stirring occasionally.
- Add the finely shaded leek and cook for a further 2 min covered.
- Add the curry powder, black pepper, salt, turmeric powder and the cubed potatoes. Stir well and add a drizzle or two of water or milk. Cook covered for 10 mins stirring from time to time.
- Add the cauliflower florets and the chopped leaves * ( see recipe notes ) and cook for another 6-7 min. Add the curry leaves slightly ripped.
- When the potatoes and the cauliflower are soft, it's ready. Grab a fork or a potato musher and partially mush some of the potatoes. You want some chunks too for texture so do not mush it completely. Mix
- Preheat the oven at 190*C. Place a parchment paper in a tray. I used 2 pizza trays.
- Place 7 pastry sheets on the parchment paper, brush slightly with a bit of oil or melted butter.
- Spoon 1/4 of the potato filling in the centre of the pastry in a shape that you like (I chose a round one this time). Place the other set of 7-8 sheets over this, brush with oil or butter and spoon the other 1/4 of the potato filling in a shape that corresponds to the one underneath and then fold the pastry over (the one from underneath too) forming a pie like round huge samosa. Repeat with the other.
- Give both another oil or butter brush over and place both in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 min.
- When ready, take out of the oven, allow it to cool slightly and serve with some spring onions and chilli sprinkle. I like it with a mango pickle - very nice
